But the people of WV decide, and they have decided for Robert C. Byrd for senator in 1958, 1964, 1970, 1976, 1982, 1988, 1994, 2000, and presumably 2006???? People there believe in RCB.
You know, that is what astonishes me, since W. Virginia seceded from Virginia over the issue of slavery. Obviously people and regional tastes change, but when something that cataclysmic forms a people into a union and blasts them away from their roots, one might think their descendants would have some attachment to the rights of black people.
