There are so many reasons not to vote for someone as offensive as Max Baucus.

Let’s just say, for the sake of argument, that there were One Million Reasons not to vote for Max. Even with that many reasons, Baucus would still have more than $8 in out-of-state money per reason to spend diverting attention away from those reasons.

Let me put that another way. Let’s say that every in-state dollar that Baucus has is a reason to vote for him and every out-of-state dollar that he has is a reason to vote against him. Well, come election day there would be 9 reasons not to vote for him for every 1 reason to support him.

Fortunately for Max, a lot of his most liberal supporters are willing to overlook years of “betrayal.” They make bold statements about not voting for him, but they always give themselves an exit strategy:

Because my experience of Max is leaving a sour taste in my mouth. Trust is waning. Perhaps before November, Max will get that back. But it’s gonna take some real serious promises, and I’m not feeling very giving right now.

The question is, will Max have enough money to buy back their votes? My bet is that he will.

See that middle finger waving there? That’s for you, Wiley.

I didn’t leave myself “an exit strategy”. I was dead serious. That’s called integrity. Look into the concept, you insulting pissant.

Wulfie, what is your secret to happiness buddy? I’d like to avoid it as best I can.

You know, I’d vote for someone else if there were other candidates. But so far there’s only third-string Republicans running, all of whom would apparently pursue policies that perpetuate the failed conservative expiraments of the last decade. No thanks. (Tho’ give credit to Lange for calling for an end to the war.)

Welcome Jay! I just posted about you.

I feel your pain - why is it that I find myself so frequently voting against your guy instead of for mine?
