4. rec- but actually Baucus wasn't trying to get bipartisan support.

that was never going to happen and it was no secret. Baucus (and Obama) used "trying to get bipartisan support" as a pretext for tearing the guts out of their own healthcare "reform". It had to go from what Obama campaigned on to what the insurance/hospital/pharmaceutical complex wanted, and that took a lot of time, and an excuse to buy that time. We're negotiating! We have the other party bargaining with us in good faith -be patient! That's a bit of Orwellian centrism that is to my mind more Orwellian than Dana Milbank's Minitrue commissioned rewrite of history.
