John Cole has the details:
WV Blogger Don Surber has learned that the RNSC will begin carpet-bombing the state with anti-Byrd ommercials starting tommorow. Looks like they decided it would be wise to soften up the landscape for Shelley Moore Capito’s run.
Personally, I am excited, because this will be the first real Senate race in WV in, well, over two decades.
To be perfectly honest, I can't imagine a Senate without Robert Byrd in it (which isn't suprising, given that he was an old hand when I was born) . I frankly don't know that he can be beat.
But, it is certainly within the realm of possibility that he can be made to behave for the next two years - which could be very valuable indeed in the context of 2 (or 3) SCOTUS fights. We'll keep our eyes on this one.
