Progressives Target Baucus Over Public Option
Democracy for America and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee are running a version of the following ad in Montana, targeting Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus (D-MT), for standing in the way of a public health insurance option.
The above web ad lists health care industry contributions to Baucus and other conservative Democrats, while the ad--now live in Montana--focuses on Baucus exclusively. And, as Greg Sargent notes, it's generating local media attention all on its own.

Good news for the good guys and let's hope max feels some pain here.

Production quibble: Max's dollar amounts appeared on the screen much too briefly. For me, a new number would come up, and by the time I'd counted digit places from right to left, it'd disappear for a new one. Also, the names of the donors should have been on-screen longer.
Even better: Let each dollar amount stay on the screen and have the next one appear below it. Finish with a grand total. That'd be impressive; no?
(Or maybe they're hanging onto some of their ammunition and keeping that bit of powder dry for now?)

Also,
It would be very nice to see the two doors clearly labeled somehow:
Door #1 Americans who want public option
Door #2 High Paying Lobbyists
...something along those lines I think would make the message more stark. The door mats say something but I can't read them.
just my 2cents
cheers...keep up the pressure!
