I would go with Byrd.  As Chairman of Appropriations, he controls where all the money goes, as the people of West Virginia know quite well.

Isn't his position in de facto control by Murray right now? I remember reading that while he technically has not lost control of the seat they had basically given control over to her because of Bryd's age and health.

No; I don't even know which Murray you're talking about.

My hunch is that he's probably talking about the only Murray in the Senate.
