Senator Byrd (D-WV) endorsed Senator Obama yesterday. As The Caucus notes:
Mr. Byrd’s endorsement of Mr. Obama is all the more interesting considering that as the senator once opposed integrating the military, filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act and, as a young man, was briefly a member of the Ku Klux Klan. He has frequently expressed regret for his past actions.
Pretty remarkable anyway you look at it.
