Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) running ad to defend his position for health insurance reform (Video)
I have to agree with Ben Smith on this one, Baucus running this ad and not up for re-election until 2014. After watching Frontline's Obama's Deal on PBS, Baucus came out as a backstabbing shrew, allowing former health care executives, now lobbyists to write the current health care insurance law. In other words, he did not come out smelling like a rose.

PBS' Frontline: Obama's Deal (Video)
If all you suspected about the new health care law is here.
Barack Obama abandoned the public option EARLY and caved to a MANDATE to make a deal with the insurance companies.
Will he pay a political price? In my eyes, yes. For me, he is a hypocrite and all these deals will make you sick. In the end, the health care law is not the best we could have gotten, but what the lobbyists and insurance industry was willing to give us. So, did our voices matter? For me, NO. This White House did not listen to me.
