Byrd and Rockefeller bring bacon to Romney

Sens. Robert Byrd and Jay Rockefeller doing what they do best, bringing home federal money to West Virginia. The Romney Fire Dept. has obtained a $100,000 grant http://rockefeller.senate.gov/press/record.cfm?id=323565

I've got no problem with this, the system is what it is-the two men do well for their constituents.

The two senators are even better at something else, being liberals in a fundamentally conservative state, protecting coal and other industries, being pro-gun and walking a host of other political tightropes this complex state offers to aspiring politicians.

I'd much rather they bring home the bacon than spend time expanding the scope of government.
