These tweets provide resources for extempers on Montana Senator Max Baucus’s recent nomination as the next U.S. Ambassador to China. Baucus is not running for re-election to the Senate and the White House formally submitted the paperwork for his nomination to the Senate two days ago. His nomination could help the Democrats retain his Senate seat in this year’s midterm elections.
