Hopefully, this will knock Byrd down a few points, maybe even below 60%. Unfortunately, this race isn't in play.

The polls don't give him much of a chance. Rasmussen has it 63% to 30% in a poll on 11 September.

byrd is an institution in WVA. he will keep getting reelected until they carry his a$$ out of the senate in a box. and by then, there won't be a public building in WVA that isn't named after him. I think you mean Byrd SHOULD BE IN an institution in WVA?

He's got more stuff named after him there than Saddam did in Iraq.
Well, good for him...can we send him some of our "Cali-Mexi" gangbanger spraypaint 'artists' to add their touch to all those "Robert Sheets Byrd Memorial - (fill in the blank)" plaques?

I live in WV, and that 63-30 figure soesn't make much sense, since 30% is the base Republican registration, and a GOP candidate always get lots of secretly-Republican Democrat votes. Four years ago, Jay Wolfe with absolutely no RNCC funding, and much more than $100,000 self-raised, got 37% against Rockefeller. Also, Raese has been prominently advertising his pro-gun, pro-life sympathies. (He showed up at yesterday's West Virginians for Life convention and is proud of their endorsement, whereas Byrd has voted pro-life about 10% of the time.)
I agree with the previous comment that all this money rolled into the state in a pork barrel doesn't have anything to do with reinforcing a sustainable economic base.
How much longer will we have the Rocky and Byrdwinkle show?
To: wildandcrazyrussian
Yep. After 75 years or so of Democrat mis-rule, WV doesn't have a single bluechip company located in the state.
For one thing, the worker's comp rates are the highest in the land. Add to that a judiciary that is stacked with leftists whose idea of fairness is to rape any company that falls into their clutches, and you have a recipe for economic failure.
Gonna take the electoral equivalent of a revolution to turn it around.
