Is that when Senator Robert Byrd (D - West VA) first starting running for
office?

It never ceases to amaze me how the democrats support for Robert Byrd 
continues. Any person that knowingly continues to support the democrats 
are racist. I would have thought that anyone that abhors racism would have
left a group that continues to support people such as Robert Byrd.

Cheers!
