Maybe she likes it more in Washington D.C. and wants an upgraded position there ?

As I just pointed out in the other thread, her dad losing re-election by almost 18pts in 1988 might have something to do with her reluctance to run statewide. Politicians, much like the rest of us, are not rational creatures. But I'm just speculating.

I'm sure Ireland knew Capito wasn't running before she came into the race. Besides, Capito would beat Ireland in a primary.

The Dem primary looks like it'll be a tough one.

Earl Ray Tomblin - 25
Natalie Tennant - 24
John Perdue - 16
Jeff Kessler - 7
Rick Thompson - 6
Brooks McCabe - 4

Meanwhile, Capito is getting the chair pulled out for her, even if she doesn't want to sit down...

Shelley Moore Capito - 72
Betty Ireland - 10
Clark Barnes - 5
Mark Sorsaia - 1
Mike Stuart - 1

Without Capito, the Republican nomination looks like Ireland's to lose:

Betty Ireland - 46
Clark Barnes - 11
Mark Sorsaia - 9
Mike Stuart - 4

Geez! Shocked Shelley must really love being in the House.

FWIW, I don't think many swing voters are going to hold her father's misdeeds from over twenty years ago against her. If they did, the third of the state she represents would've never elected her to Congress back in 2000. I doubt voters in the other two WV house districts are any more fixiated on Arch Moore than Capito's consituents were two decades ago, let alone today.

That's not really what I meant. What I was getting at was more that she might have psychological issues about running for statewide office because of what happened to her father.

Seniority in the House and being in the majority isn't something to give up, especially in a smaller state where clout can be sustained from that position. Even if she wasn't in the majority, she would still be able to have some clout, as she's a moderate.

Interesting theory. Could be. Though maybe that experience would make her all the more likely to try redeeming the family name? Tough to say.

Whatever it is its enough she's giving up a pretty clear run for being top dog in Charleston. Tomblin might give her a close run based on these numbers, but its unlikely he'd avoid a serious primary challenge and come out unscathed for the general. Capito conversely would likely clear the GOP field just by announcing.

Maybe she just would rather spend her life being a legislator than an executive?
