CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- A day after dropping out of cabinet contention, New Hampshire Sen. Judd Gregg says he will vote against the $787 billion stimulus package.

He said he can support a robust stimulus package that focuses more on shoring up the real estate market and keeping people in their homes.

On Thursday, Gregg withdrew as President Barack Obama's nominee as commerce secretary.
