Could Byrd Be On His Way Out?

When we were a minority we were told that if we wanted to shape our country we should become the majority party. Now that we are the majority party, we are being told that we need to become a super-majority party to appoint judges that only require a majority.

Well then, let's become a super-majorty. It shouldn't be that hard given how obstructionism ruined Tom Daschle's career. Now the chief obstructionist has become Robert "Sheets" byrd, who has never won an election by less than 30 points, but whose current actions are creating unrest in his home state, according to Don Surber at the Charlseton Daily Mail, via The American Thinker.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee did a telephone poll of 500 likely voters on March 15-16 and found Republican Congresswoman Shelley Capito is within 10 points of Byrd.

Byrd was ahead 52 percent to 42. The margin of error is 4.3 percent, meaning that in 19 out of 20 cases, the numbers for the two would fall between 48 and 56 for Byrd and 38 and 46 for Capito.

Sounds good to me. Perhaps Byrd can be "Daschled." We also know that Democrat Mark Dayton is history, and will more than likely likely be replaced with popular Republican Mark Kennedy. There are rumors that John Edwards has little hope of being reelected in his state. That would make 58 seats.

Hmmm...I wonder where we might get a couple more.
