CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Senator Hillary Clinton is praising congressional challenger Anne Barth as the candidate who will break with the policies of the Bush administration.

Speaking at a rally Friday at the University of Charleston, Clinton called Barth the candidate of change.

The rally also featured a surprise appearance by Sen. Robert C. Byrd. The West Virginia Democrat shouted his support for Barth from the audience.

Barth worked for Byrd for 21 years before challenging Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, the state's lone Republican in Congress.

Clinton is a popular politician in the state. She trounced Sen. Barack Obama in the May 13 Democratic presidential primary by a margin of more than 2-to-1.

Now that West Virginia has become a toss-up state you can really see the negativeness of republicians. They know they are the reason we are in the shape we are in. Senator Byrd is the best senator in U.S history. If Senator Chilton makes a couple more trips to WV Mr. Obama will win West Virginia. I am seeing twice as many sighns for him since the debates. I am sick of George Bush and his policies of entitlement for the wealthy. Obama for coal to liquids. McCain one hundred new nuclear plants. Sounds like the makings for a lot of dirty blombs. We need Anne Barth and Senator Obama.

When Hillary said Anne Barff is the candidate of change, was she talking about her experience in changing Byrds depends? You know they are tight after 21 years together!

It looks like they kicked Hillarys a double s and made her like it? The big boys here in WV gave her one chance to join their new world order, because they needed her help with us bunch of hicks. Just say you're a DEMOCRAT here and most will follow, all the way into hell without looking up! Ant that right Rockie, excuse Byrd he don't know what world he's in now..
