The answer to your question is in the comment. More pork, more votes. They'll be voting for this guy 10 years after he dies.

I remember his quote during the impeachment. "While these rise to high crimes and misdemeanors, I'll not vote to remove." What else needs to be said?

Are the people of West Virginia equally senile for sending this Klansman back to the Senate time and time again? Put the old dog down already!

Since the voters of W VA aren't smart enough to vote Byrd out of office.....God will term-limit him for them.

Judging from his present condition, he's not going to be around much longer.

Politicians, like all mortals, are inherently selfish. In this case, they have the power to really do things with that selfishness!

Kinda like this?

The reason the change was made was simple: people were campaigning on who would be sent to Washington, not on the issues. The rationale for the change was to get state elections back to the issues. The founding fathers wanted the best men in the senate, so hot issues could cool like ‘tea in a saucer’ under the guidance of senior statesmen. Congressmen were only elected for 2 years in case they were hot tempered. The senate, in approving judges, ratifying treaties, and confirming other positions, wields far more power than should be granted to freely elected hot heads.
