'Me thinks' a lot of voters were hoodwinked and not inquisitive, or thinking enough, this last election. Good post, Chris....

I am so sick of the self-indulgent high-fives and unwarranted atta-boys being spread around like cheap trinkets.

Byrd endorsed him after, although not immediately after. I had hoped that because he had mentored Hillary when she first came to the Senate that her huge primary win would give him the excuse to endorse her. I wonder if we'll ever know what was going on.

And he is a very good Senator. I think his recent actions were due to undue influence from the Kennedy camp. He is not well, and easily influenced as a result. He is still the longest serving Senator in the history of the country, and has done yeomman service for West Virginia. And for that, he is deserving of respect. I know him personally, have met him on numerous occasions, and he is a good man who knows many of his constituents by the generation, literally. When he came to visit our county, he remembered everyone's name, asked after kin that he knew, and in general just let us know he was there for us, no matter what. Few Senators these days can do that. For what he has done during his long service to his country and his state, he should be forgiven what he did in the twilight of his life at a time when he is in bad health. I did. But then, I lived in his state, and I know what sort of person and Senator he is. He is a great one.

Then he would turn up at the presser for the bill and step up to the mike and take credit for the bill. This annoyed his fellow Senators no end. Can't say that I blame them, frankly. Oh, he did have time to write a second book while in the Senate, when he was too busy to do the actual work of being a Senator. Oh, he did find time to get earmarks for his old district, including one that got his wife a $190,000 raise.
