Over at National Review on line they have a quote from Professor of Government at Claremont Mckenna college John J Pitney Jr:
"So unless there is a last-minute miracle in Virginia, Robert Byrd will again be president pro tem of the U.S. Senate. I know it's un-clubby and all that, but it would be fun if a Republican senator proposed a "sense of the Senate" resolution that no former member of the Ku Klux Klan should be in the line of succession to the presidency. Let's see Democrats vote against that. Just a thought."
His nickname is "Sheets Byrd"..... I guess the Honeymoon is over!
