Well after spending much time in WV.. I can tell you that while WV is red in terms of its day to day mentality for the most part anymore... Senator Byrd is going to decide when its time to go home.. I just don't see him being voted out by anyone.
The point is, even though he is probably one of the most safe guys in there this election year, even he is not willing to risk voting against what is obviously a supremely qualified nominee just because some moonbats from Cali and NY think he should.
