Dick Morris on Robert ByrdHere's good news to the cause of good government. West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd, styled by partisan Democrats as the "conscience of the Senate" and by those who are less biased as the last troglodyte in the body, could be defeated in his bid for his umpteenth term in the Senate.Article here.He's up for election in 2006, and the latest polling in West Virginia indicates that an attack of sanity and judgment may, at last, be hitting an electorate that has routinely elected the 87-year-old Byrd to the Senate eight times with never less than 59 percent of the vote. A survey by RMS Strategies, a West Virginia firm, shows Byrd barely ahead of Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, 46-43 percent.

Their is a term limit on how many terms a president can serve, their should be a term limit on how many terms a congressman or senator can serve. But do you think they'd put a term limit on how many terms they can serve? The chances are slim to none they'd do that. Their is a better chance that they would put an age limit on when they must retire. Their would have to be a strong grassroots movement before either scenario would take place.

What makes it even better is that Representative Capito is the daughter of former Governor Arch Moore, a rival of Senator Byrd from way back.
This should be fun, the daughter avenges the father.
