    Senator Baucus: March 18 is a "steep climb"

    Check out this email from my FNC colleague Trish Turner:

    Subject: Urgent- Sen Finance Chair Says NO Deadlines

    Per turner-

    (Off cam)

    Sen Finance Cmte Chairman calls the White House Mar 18 deadline for House passage of healthcare

    "a steep climb."

    "I don't want to give dates," Baucus said, "All I know is deadlines are generally more of a problem than an opportunity."

    Baucus said right now, Dems on both sides of Congress are working on their trust deficit. "There's considerable mistrust," Baucus said, but he added that that's nothing unusual.

    He and fellow Senate Dem leaders are to meet with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi later today (5p-ish) in her suite of offices.
