Which means financial reform is dead unless the governor appoints a liberal democrat to fill his seat today.   Why would I not be surprised if he did?

God bless and I hope for YOUR DUmmy soul you accepted Jesus Christ as your savior and asked him to forgive your ni**er hating, slave owner KKK member Democrat ass for forgiveness before you died.

I have a hard time finding sympathy for KKK negro murderers such as is you, but according to Jesus Christ, my forgiveness level should be up to and including crucifixion!

Oh well, if when you don't make it to heaven, say hi to Teddy Kennedy and Molly Ivins when you reach your final resting place. Their offices are across the hall from Satan.

Sad for the family as any death is, but if he was a member of the KKK, and more importantly, if he actually killed anyone on the grounds of hatred; screw him. I hope hell's hot enough down there.

Actually, Joe Manchin, although a Democrat, is pretty responsible. I don't look to see him try to rush a lib in to get a vote passed. I have seen him stand against an Obummer edict several times, and he's done a pretty good job of keeping the WV economy stable, in spite of it being a Dem state.
Of course I've been disappointed before.

Funny listening to the media list his lifetime activities except one..... they're just DANCING around it.  "Controversial viewpoints...."  "He really did change and grow throught his career...."

Not surprised.

Thanks for these comments. I was wondering about this even before Byrd croaked.

While Manchin may be pretty responsible, I'm wondering if he'd cave into the relentless arm-twisting that Rahm will surely use to further the Socialist agenda.

Any idea who the candidates for replacement might be? (Note to self: this is probably being discussed ad nauseum on FNC and other news sources.)

It would seem so, unless the governor decides to try some shenanigans, but I doubt that wil go over too well.
