Poll: Montana Dems pan Baucus on healthcare

Poll: Montana Dems pan Baucus on healthcare
By Alexander Bolton
Posted: 08/21/09 06:00 PM

Fifty-five percent of Democrats in Montana disapprove of how Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) has handled healthcare reform, according to a new Research 2000 poll given to The Hill by a liberal activist.

It appears the campaign has begun to impact Baucus’s public standing.

2. Did you notice how uncomfortable he looked at that meeting with Obama & MT voters?

He feels our hate. He knows he is not welcome here anymore.

4. Excellent News, Ma'am

His dismal performance in this fight warrants retirement to the private sector as soon as it can be arranged.
