Poll question: Senate president Pro Temp

If the Democrats re-gain control of the Senate in two days wh odo you think should be the next Senate President Pro Tem? The Pro Tem is usually the oldest/longest serving Senator of the party in control, but is also 3rd in line to be President. Thne most likely chocie is Robert Byrd of WV who has been it 2 or 3 times before. Remeber Thurmand was it when he was 100, so Byrd being 88, wouldn't be the oldest. Or the Pro Tem could be someone new, for example the 2nd longest serving Senator, Ted Kennedy.
