Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum on the state of Baucus (from a FOX News interview last night):

the bill that came out of the Finance Committee is not going to go to the floor of the Senate. What’s going to happen is that the majority leader is in the process right now — Harry Reid is sitting down with the HELP committee, which was Ted Kennedy’s committee, that passed a bill out several months ago, and with Max Baucus. And those two committees have to put another bill together, which will be more like the House bill than it is like the Finance Committee bill. What you’ve seen is the best attempt of the Democrats to get a Republican — a bipartisan bill, and they got Olympia Snowe only, as she says, on a procedural ground — in other words, just to move it forward. Then she has still serious reservations about the bill. You saw Joe Lieberman come out today and say that he can’t vote for this bill. And again, it’s only going to get worse from his perspective. They’re in big trouble.
