Wealthy Businessman to Challenge Byrd

Byrd has a pathological hatred for Bush's nominees to the courts. He, and his sheets, need to be flushed.

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.

[demkicker]

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!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Or even William Proxmire with his "Golden Fleece Awards". Where are the people to replace them?

[LdSentinal]

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.
