"Spirit"?? Does that mean wearing the sheets? As in Caspar the Ghost? Or as in Robert Byrd, Grand Kleegle of the KKK?

Would it be plausible to expect people to want some term limits for Senators?

Robt. Byrd is the conscience (or is that "the incontinence") of the Democrat Party.

If he dry cleans his sheet he'll be as good as new.

He better be prepared to get roughed up. He's not getting this one for free nomatter what the situation.

I think we can win this one if whomever runs against him runs smart. I was hearing that if Capito doesn't run, a former Coach of WV State (I think) who's popular might run. If he's pro-life, it might actually make up for his lack of experience and connections, because he could beat Byrd upside the head on that issue all day long.

I had to brush up and check - the governor's a Dim, so I assume he'll get to appoint his replacement when the old coot croaks in the Senate Chamber.
