Robert Byrd is being replaced by 36-year old Carte Goodwin. Kind of cool, as his late father was my mother-in-law's first cousin. Also interesting, as he is obviously an up and comer and these type of appointments are usually for old timers. He is almost certainly just keeping the seat warm for the current governor, but at his age, I'd imagine that he has his eye the governor's seat at some point.
