While of course I hope for the best possible outcome for the current Sr. Senator from West Virginia, and former Klansman, I can't help but wonder what the replacement protocol is in WV. Is it gubernatorial selection, or special election, just in case, of course.

He is 92 years old. A cool draft could kill him at this point.

heat exhaustion and severe dehydration as a result of the extreme temperatures.He's too stupid to stay inside with the A/C? No shock from a 'Rat Klansman...

No mention of his KKK history. Oh! He’s a Democrat.

He’ll be hard to replace. There are not too many KKK politicians available today.

I’m no fan of Byrd, but I hope he gets better. He really should have retired.

If Byrd is unable to complete his term, under West Virginia law, Gov. Joe Manchin (D) would appoint his replacement. That person would finish Byrd's Senate term, which ends in 2012. From the article

I am hoping West Virginia continues their Republican trend and gets two GOP senators.

If he kicks, one of these two losers becomes fourth in line...
Daniel Inouye of Hawaii or Patrick Leahy of Vermont.

He has the best healthcare taxpayer money can buy.

Where's the other one coming from? (Assuming this opening leads to a GOP’er!)

Governor appoints interim, and an election (depending on time window) is held for the rest of the term, depending on the timing.
WV is a rare blue state turning red. It would have done it sooner except for the pork brought in by Byrd and to a lesser extent, Rockefeller, who is as dumb as dirt and would have been a nobody if he didn’t come out of the right womb.

Prayers for Senator Byrd. Although I must say he should have retired 10 years or so ago.

Thanks. I actually did not see that last paragraph.
To: oldbill
In Byrd’s case, the timing for the election would be 2012.

At 92, my grandpa beat up a guy in the nursing home for calling him a son-of-bitch...my grandpa said the guy insulted his mother.
