First, I said I believe he did, but one never really knows the goings-on between someone's ears.
As for my "philosophy"... I won't give an absolute "Yes", but close. I believe Byrd's transgressions were so gross as to prohibit his running, and especially being the head of the party in the Senate.
Of course, the electorate should have the say, and sadly they kept voting Byrd in. Having said that, I don't think it would be tolerated of an up-and-comer today.
