In announcing his support Friday night, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) pointedly read from a Chamber of Commerce endorsement. The National Association of Manufacturers has also weighed in, telling Republicans that votes on the bill "including potential procedural motions" may be considered for designation as key votes in NAM's scoring of their legislative record. Allow me to read between the lines: That is a "traditionally Republican-leaning business lobby" warning Senate Republicans that they will take a pound of flesh from anyone who obstructs the stimulus bill via filibuster. It's not everyday that NAM backs an $800 billion bill from a Democratic president. If that's where the business community stands on this bill, it's leverage that Obama should use. huffingtonpost.com
