I don't get it. With news her re-election bid is tightenin', why hasn't Shelley Moore Capito done the obvious: invite our super Presidential George W. Bush back to the district.
We want to see this headline and we want to see it tomorrow morning... "Shelley Moore Capito invites George Bush on whistle-tour campaign trip." It would be so kewl.
Heck, I bet she could even get Dick Cheney to come along, too. One more time for ol' times sake, what do you say?

Top 10 Reasons to Vote for Shelley Moore Capito
It's crunch time. And, I ain't talking about your abs. In case you're wavering, here are the TOP TEN REASONS TO VOTE FOR SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO. (Sorry 'bout the yellin', I'm so excited I can't help myself.)
#1 - Shelley Moore Capito is the most loyal politician in all of the state of West Virginia. Even with our fearless leader President George Bush having a little bump in his favorability ratings, Shelley Moore Capito always stands by our man in the White House. George Bush may not be on the ballot this time, but a vote for Shelley Moore Capito is very the closest you can get.
#2 - Shelley Moore Capito is intimately familiar with all of the problems in Washington. She's served tirelessly on key committees like the one that got to decide which Republican policies to vote on between and how much deregulation the banking industry needed to keep the housing boom going strong.
#3 - Shelley Moore Capito knows how to jump-start the economy. She's in favor of making the Bush tax cuts permanent and even supports John McCain's determination to increase tax cuts for all of us making $1,000,000 a year even larger.
#4 - Shelley Moore Capito won't get distracted by the needs of ordinary, quaint, unfortunate American's stuck in the back allays and side-streets of our proud country. She'll take care of the captains of industry: Main Street and Wall Street.
#5 - Shelley Moore Capito knows how to keep America safe. She's been a strong proponent of extended, expanded, and robust military involvement in Iraq and any other country that threatens us. Like John McCain, she'll keep our soldiers over there as long as it takes!!
#6 - Shelley Moore Capito not just a loyal foot-solider for Republicans in Congress, she's ready to jump in front of any parade! She doesn't get bogged down with things like passing her own legislation, she knows there's lots of strong Congressman ahead of her in seniority to support.
#7 - If you like John McCain and Sarah Palin, you'll love Shelley Moore Capito. Sadly, George Bush has to pass the mantle of leadership to a new generation of Presidential leaders. We'll all miss Dick Cheney and George Bush. Thankfully, we can keep Shelley Moore Capito in office as a reminder of those glory years.
#8 - Shelley Moore Capito has a steadfast support for all that is right in America. There is no Republican policy so unpopular she won't get it the good ol' college try. When George Bush needed support to privatize social security, she was right there, inviting him on a listening tour in West Virginia. When the Republicans new the right way to give Seniors prescription medication was not to bog things down negotiations with pharmaceutical, Shelley Moore Capito was right there! When President George Bush needed Congress to keep funding the war without conditions, Shelley Moore Capito was right there!
#9 - A vote for Shelley Moore Capito is like a vote for John McCain, George Bush, Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin all at once! Go Team! Rah, rah, rah!

Woman, like Shelley Moore Capito, for McCain
The only thing that would make this campaign commercial for Sen. John McCain even better is if Rep. Shelley Moore Capito appeared in it.

Shelley Moore Capito bravely pushes earmarks for donors
The bestest, greatest, most fantastic Congresswoman from West Virginia ever, Republican Shelley Moore Capito is demonstrating her independence. She has bravely stood up to the campaign promises of the McCain-Palin ticket to veto all earmarks. In open defiance of the leadership of her party, Capito is sticking to her guns--earmarks for everyone campaign donors.
The Shepherdstown Observer reports that not only is Capito making sure West Virginia gets its share of federal dollars, Republican Shelley Moore Capito is making sure as many tax dollars as possible go to the very right people--her campaign donors. After all, if you're not willing to invest in the best female member of Congress in W.Va., why should she invest in you?
Now, you might scoff, that's only one example. We all know when Shelley Moore Capito stands up for an important principle like directing tax dollars to her donors, you can be sure she won't pull up short. No, indeed.
Who says Capito isn't independent! She's willing to stand up to The Mavericks in her party, what can be more independent than that?

Capito's Earmarks Linked to Campaign Contributions
Representative Shelley Moore Capito has published her Fiscal Year 2008 requests for federal earmarks on her website. One of these is $100,000 for the Loy Cultural Center for the renovation of a bottling plant in Romney.
Robert Mayhew, president of the Loy Foundation, told The Observer that he requested this funding from Rep. Capito. He also confirmed that he has contributed to Capito campaigns in 2002, 2005, 2006, and 2007 totaling more than $7,400.
Now, you might scoff, that's only one example. We all know when Shelley Moore Capito stands up for an important principle like directing tax dollars to her donors, you can be sure she won't pull up short. No, indeed.
This is not the only earmark that Capito has sponsored that has ties to campaign contributors. In her ’08 earmark requests she successfully secured $265,000 for the Schoenbaum Family Enrichment Center in Charleston. A member of its board of directors, Henry (William) Harmon, gave campaign money to Capito in 2003, 2005, and 2006, totaling $4,100.
Similarly, Capito successfully sponsored a $97,000 earmark for St Joseph’s Hospital in Buckannon. St. Joseph’s Hospital CEO Tony Atkins gave $1,000 to the Capito campaign in 2007, and Michael Sellards, also a board member of St. Joseph’s and CEO of Pallottine Health Services, the hospital’s parent company, gave $1,000 to Capito’s campaign in 2008.
Leslie Paige, spokesperson for the Citizens Against Government Waste, is outraged by this type of practice. “Of course there is a link between campaign contributions and earmarks. Is it right? No. It’s called “corruption” with a small ‘c’. This is using taxpayers’ dollars to do favors for your cronies. It is not illegal, but it is not terribly ethical.”
Federal funding for the Loy Center in Romney has received national attention. Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) listed the project as one of the country’s worst examples of earmark abuse.

Who's suppressing voters now!?
I'm really confused. Those liberal West Virginia bloggers jamming up my Intertubes claim Republicans somehow try to suppress votes. They're so stupid they didn't notice a bunch of crazy movie stars are telling kids not to vote.
