The death of of 92 year old West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd (D) will bring about a heated battle over his seat between the Dems and Republicans. But when is the race going to happen? The liberals want his seat to be under consideration in the 2012 race so they can slide in a Democrat now. The Conservatives are arguing that the wording of the bill where is uses the word “next,” is meaning the next election.
What are your thoughts? Should the seat be up for the November election of 2010?
Robert Byrd famously saying: “I am the oldest thing around here…”
More like the oldest KKK thing around there. This guy was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and the only reason the media didn’t talk about it was because he was a democrat. What a double standard. Thanks for the post….
