Byrd Hunting

For those of you who haven't seen it, the NRSC's gotten its first ad of the '06 cycle on the air, targeting Robert Byrd. Check it out here. For those of you who might be wondering "Why Byrd," I'll give you a one-statistic answer. The man hasn't polled less than 60% since Ike was office. That's the 1950s for those of you whose knowledge of American history is sketchy. I'm guessing West Virginia's changed since then, so I'm guessing the politics there need some change too.
