If senator Byrd dies is a person appointed or elected to serve out the remaineder of his term?
Byrd isn't up for reelection until 2012. But if there is a vacancy before then, Gov. Joe Manchin III (D) would be able to appoint an interim senator to fill the duration of the term, provided that the vacancy occurred less than 30 months before the 2013 term is set to begin. If the vacancy were to occur with more than 30 months before the 2013 term begins, candidates would have to run in the next primary or general election cycle, according to West Virginia election law.(direct quote from Politico: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/27452.html)
