Bad News for Bob Byrd
The Hill, by Dick Morris

Here’s good news to the cause of good government. West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd, styled by partisan Democrats as the “conscience of the Senate” and by those who are less biased as the last troglodyte in the body, could be defeated in his bid for his umpteenth term in the Senate. The latest polling in West Virginia shows Byrd barely ahead of Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, 46-43 percent

1. The Focus Should Be...Shelley Moore Capito...
the second highest recipient of Tom Delay's dirty money, in the US congress.

7. IF Moore Capito runs...
She has a fairly safe seat right now, and she may not want to give that up for the uncertainty of a Senate race. If she doesn't run, Byrd will likely win in a walk.

5. We need to start getting the word out locally.......

Byrd needs to retain his seat for the good of democracy. He has fought longer and harder for this country than any one else I can think of. Watch for them to play the age card and the ignominious return of the KKK thing.

Capito is the daughter of a crook, and the apple didn't fall too far from the tree in her case. She, like all of DeLay's cronies, are cancer to this country.

Oh yeah, and Dick Morris is the REAL troglodyte here.

the GOP upside their head with it. Now that I would like to see....
