West Virginia Democrat, Senator Robert C. Byrd, announced he supports Obama for president, even though his state voted overwhelmingly in favor of Hillary.
I never thought I'd see the day when a former KKK official -- Byrd served as both a Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops (leader of his local KKK chapter) -- would support a black man for president. Maybe the Democrats are progressive after all.

I guess this is change!
