Sestak offered a bribe by the WH???

I heard this being discussed on Morning Joe and I don't know what to think. Is this one of those issues that the talking heads will dissect ad naseum, but that regular people won't care about, or is this a real concern? This is a summary from the NY Times politics blog:

Congressman Joe Sestak has maintained that the White House, which backed Arlen Specter, offered him a job in exchange for dropping out of the PA Senate race. He did not leave the race and went on to defeat Mr. Specter last week for the Democratic nomination.
