DemRats Fleeing Sinking Ship

Democrat U.S. lawmakers are fleeing a sinking ship.
Just today, Max Baucus and Democrat from Montana was named U.S. ambassador to China, guaranteeing he will not be running for re-election in a fairly red state.  In Utah, a Democrat House member is not going to seek re-election, virtually guaranteeing a Republican taking over.
From the Helena Independent Record:
Politico and the Washington Post are reporting that that President Obama is expected to nominate U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., to serve as the next U.S. ambassador to China.
Baucus, who was first elected to the Senate in 1978, had announced in April he would not seek re-election in 2014.
Politico said Baucus planned to begin notifying his colleagues and staff about his upcoming nomination on Wednesday night.
The story said it wasn’t clear when Baucus’ appointment would take place, but he would face confirmation from the Senate to hold the post.
Baucus’ staff could not immediately confirm the reports of his nomination. http://helenair.com/news/local/officials-baucus-to-be-named-ambassador-to-china/article_57e72f58-6837-11e3-aff3-001a4bcf887a.html
And from Fox News: Utah Republican Mia Love stole the show at last year’s GOP convention, then narrowly lost her bid weeks later to unseat Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson.

The Saratoga Springs mayor’s prospects of winning that House seat in 2014 sharply improved Tuesday, though, when Matheson said he won’t seek an eighth term -- allowing her to face a non-incumbent in a state where Mitt Romney won by 72 percent of the vote.

Washington Republicans gushed over Matheson’s announcement and characterized it as a red flag for other Democratic incumbents in the age of ObamaCare. 
“It’s telling that Matheson, who didn’t even vote for ObamaCare’s original passage, knows he can’t run and win in this climate,” said Oregon Rep. Greg Walden, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. “If it’s this bad for him, imagine how bad 2014 will be for the vast majority of Democrats who actually supported ObamaCare from its start.”
NRCC officials even went so far as saying Matheson’s departure gives their party such a clear path to victory in Utah’s Fourth Congressional District seat that they can spend their money elsewhere on tighter races.  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/12/19/matheson-exit-gives-gop-love-better-shot-at-winning-utah-congressional-seat/
I am sure there will be many more DemoRats that will flee the sinking Obama ship.
