WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Max Baucus, the powerful Senate Finance chairman who steered President Barack Obama's health care overhaul into law but broke with his party on gun control, has decided to retire, Democratic officials said Tuesday.

Baucus, 71, of Montana, has been a fixture in the Senate since 1979 and has been the top Democrat on the Finance panel since 2001. He faced a tough re-election bid next year, with opposition to the health care law in his state taking a toll on his approval ratings.

I am glad Sen. Baucus will not be running again - and with the benefit of hindsight seriously regret campaigning for him the last time he ran for reelection - but have no interest in voting Schweitzer. It will probably be a disappointing election cycle for me. All of my favorite MDP candidates from the past few years lack experience, resources, and popularity enough to make serious bids for the open seat. A libertarian might run but, if so, they will probably be further to the right on economic issues than either of the major party candidates. I would vote Green if they field a candidate. Unfortunately, it would not at all surprise me if they fail to do so.

So glad that DINO's out of office. Max Baucus is the true meaning of a K Street whore.
