Should be an easy pick up for the GOP, I’m guessing Baucus’ internal polling showed him being crushed.

Via TPM:

Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, plans to retire and won’t seek re-election in 2014, the Washington Post reported Tuesday, citing two unnamed Democratic sources.

Harry Reid might be the next Senate minority leader.

E-man, you are faster than my WSJ News Alerts !!

I have to believe Obama told Baucus to lay low on Obamacare & Sibelius and Baucus said ---



good for Baucus !!

I believe the Regime is behind this. They want to win the Senate and House for their last two years and nothing else matters. Baucus was as damaged as he could be for a run in that state since he was an architect of Zerocare. The Rats knew this was going to be a loss. I am positive they have a Conservative Rat just waiting to run to the right of whomever the GOP fields. It is from the old Rahm Emmanuel playbook that gave them success in '06. Dump losers and run someone that appears to be more Conservative than the RINO.

That is fundamentally the same strategy used by the GOP (simply from the opposite political direction) when they run a RINO who gets to the left of the Democrat on some issues in an effort to win a seat for the Republicans in a Democrat stronghold.

Montana's other Senator is a democrat and he just won reelection.

This is not an easy win for the GOP.
