Klansman? That can’t be true. Only Republicans are racist ... at least that’s what the media tell us. /s

And he was a co-sponsor of Byrd-Hagel, which rejected the Kyoto Protocol in a Sense of the Senate Resolution after Clinton signed us up for it. For that, we owe Byrd, and I am grateful.

I usually drive that way going to Columbus to visit my SiL.

I’m always spooked driving by Nitro. But I like the drive up to Pt. Pleasant along the Kanawha river.

BTW, they finally finished revamping the Capitol bldg. dome. Intricate relief covered w/ gold leaf. It’s beautiful.

Agreed 100%.

Manchin just apparently said that he would not appoint himself (or technically have himself appointed).

LOL... I am 61 and I can assure you that for some, the mind begins to go much sooner than 75. ;>)

After he expired, was a white sheet pulled over his face?

As a person, I must say RIP. However, as with ANY democrat, traitors all— I will not miss him nor regret his demise.

Changing titles is fun...but frowned upon.

Speak for yourself - or at least the mods ;)

LOL! Great headline!

If Joe Manchin runs, Shelley Moore Capito probably won’t. Otherwise, I think that if she does run, her maiden name will carry more weight than her stance on the abortion issue. The state is very clannish (with a c, not a K) and many politicians come from families with a long line of politicians.
