Monyihan was one of my favorites too.
I also liked Wellstone. Did not like his views, but I respected him as a person.
I can't think of a single rat senator that I like.
I do believe Byrd's jig is up. Even the morons who have supported him in the past have to realize the old coot's days are numbered, not to mention that he's a national disgrace and reflects poorly on West Virginians.
I doubt he's got the energy or the mental capacity to debate his opponent or go through the required campaign rigors. Lucky for us!
Or even William Proxmire with his "Golden Fleece Awards". Where are the people to replace them?
Oh. This is the same guy that ran against Byrd in 1984 and almost beat him.
I can actually understand why people keep voting for Byrd...at this point it's tradition. What I can't fathom is why and elitist like Rockerfeller is still in office...the averge west virginian cannot possibly relate to him.
