I am waiting on McConnell to do the same.

It'll be interesting to see if Barry Schweitzer (sp?) runs for Max's seat, or does he have a higher office in mind? He'd pretty much be lock if he ran for the Senate.

 

[as seen on tv]

full disclosure -

max baucus has been in washington DC since 1974, nearly 40 years - first as a house member, then as a senator.

before that time he was an SEC government employees, a montana government appointee, then a member of the montana house of representatives. he has never worked a single day for any organization which was NOT the government.

this is the sort of career politician which "term limits" was designed for.

Exactly.

Not worth a fart in a high wind.

Baucus and Grassley were the fly in the ointment on Health Care.Tied it up for weeks,until Max got what he wanted,Grassley was against it. They lost us the Public Option.

Many of the good guys are going while the dregs hang on
