Montana is heating up to become a battleground over health care reform.

This is evident as President Barack Obama plans to bring his message to the state on Friday.

On Tuesday, the president began the first of three health care town
halls in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On Friday, the White House says Obama will be holding the second town hall in the Bozeman area, followed by a town hall in Grand Junction, Colorado on Saturday.

Many say it's quite clear why Obama is coming to Montana. Senator Max Baucus is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and is leading bi-partisan health care talks. Sources tell us Baucus will be at the town hall with Obama on Friday.

The White House hasn't released details yet about Friday’s schedule.
