"Byrd by name, Bird by nature..."

There are a few people who remember Robert C. Byrd's theme for his West Virginia leglislative race. Can you visualize a picture of Byrd playing a violin ( fiddle for West Virginians) and the caption:"Byrd by Name and Bird by nature, lets send Byrd to the legislature"? The circular had Byrd's face on a bird's body playing his music... like..., well... like bird's music. Some said he was a showoff, while others said Bob was just fiddling around. I am among that few who remember.

There are more than a few voters that want to retire the U.S. Senator this time. They have some help from his friends in the Senate. Senator Byrd has out liberaled most liberals. Now his record in the Senate has come to haunt him. Using the Senator's words and legislation against him, a video named simply "CHANGE", is running in that state. The Liberal Democrat is running in what has become a Conserative Democrat and Conservative Republican state.

Hiram Lewis has announced his candidacy, and Karl Rove is known to be courting a WV Congresswoman. Shelley Moore Capito is the daughter of two time WV Republican Governor Arch moore. Could the Byrd loose his high perch? Could be.
