Senator Mary Landrieu D-LA got her money for her "aye" vote on cloture of the Reid Obamacare bill.
Three hundred million dollars, to be exact.
She wasn't the only one to receive promises from Reid in return for a yes vote:
Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) got support his plan to expand eligibility for health insurance.
Senator Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) got rid of a provision stripping health insurers of their antitrust exemption.
It's just that Landrieu was the most blatant, money-grubbing example of wheelin'-n-dealin'.
