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.

1) Capito ain't runnin. 2) I don't know about any coach, but it's WVU, not WV State. 3) Hiram Lewis, a 34yr. old lawyer, former Army Ranger and Iraqi war vet has his hat in the GOP ring. WV is 2-1 Dem but elected Pres. Bush by 6% and 13% in 00 and 02 respectively. The people of this state are very patriotic and the kind of stuff that Byrd has been spouting against the war was one reason for the increase in Pres. Bush's wins here. The fly in the ointment is the state Rep. party. They are in disarray and in debt. I am not holding my breath waiting for the RNC to set things straight cause it ain't gonna happen. It's a shame, Byrd is ripe for the pickin' but the Reps. are gonna let it slip through their hands.
