Please DU this poll for Sen Byrd: How likely is he to be re-elected?

[Rowdyboy]

Its from the Charleston, WVA Daily Mail and the correct answer is:

a. lead-pipe cinch

Lets give a genuine American hero a little boost in his home state.

1. Is he actually running again?

He's great -- I love his wonderful, eloquent rants -- but he's older than God.

[Rowdyboy]

3. He's 87, vibrant as a man 20 years younger and running for re-election

If Strom Thurmond could stink up the senate until age 101, surely Bobby Byrd deserves one more term to help "take out the trash"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. And so, may he remain in the Senate for another 87 years. Byrd rocks!

2. done ...

it was a lead-pipe cinch ...

5. Let's wait and see if he votes to confirm Janice Rogers Brown

After the Owens vote I'm not sure I give a damn if he runs, retires or just fades away.

6. He has my undying respect regardless of how he votes on any single

court appointment. I don't have litmus tests for hero's who have stood up to the BFEE time after time after time. I trust his judgement.

Since neither of us live in WVA, it really doesn't make much difference what we think anyway but-IMHO-he has represented me in the last few years more than almost any other Democratic senator.
I think most here on DU would agree.
