Rockefeller had the advantages of unlimited funds and big seniority, which allowed him to bring back lots of pork. Those are hard to resist.

If the Dems have to put up a freshman candidate, even if well known from other political positions, then the odds should be a lot better.

Is this the Rockefeller who was ClintBillies secret father? Or was that his father? My memory of those rumors is a bit faded. Just a rumor, but it helped explain the Hot Springs gangster connections when Billy was a teenager.

Well, former KKK Grand Wizard Robert Byrd was exactly the same way. He had his seat for life.

He who brings home the pork brings home the senate bacon.

That’s just the way it works in these United States. All Politics is local.
