With the general election still 15 months away, U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd launched a television ad campaign this week to counteract commercials being run by the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

“It’s not the beginning of a campaign, but a response,” said Charleston attorney Ned Rose, who heads the Friends of Robert C. Byrd Committee.

While three Republicans have announced plans to run against the state’s senior senator in 2006, most political observers are awaiting an announcement by Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., about her plans.
