Capito reactions

Published by Tim McNulty on .

Capito/ManchinRy Rivard at the Charleston Daily Mail: Moore/Capito would have been historically nasty campaign; Capito could reap her seniority/connections to be a Hill leader if the GOP takes over Congress in November

Post-Gazette: GOP has rare opportunity to ride voter discouragement into win

Politico: Decision leaves GOP in a bind

AP: State GOP chair says he's heard from no serious candidates

Salon: There is no historical guide for Capito in this "truly bizarre special election process"

The Swamp/Chicago Tribune: With so many big Senate races this year, the National Republican Senatorial Committee is not poised to fund Capito (or another Repub) aggressively.

Hotline: Another GOP name could be Bob Adams of the League of American Voters.

FiveThirtyEight: Capito could have been one of the only big-name Republicans to lose come November; besides, she has plenty of options in 2012 (Senate or Gov) or 2012 (Rockefeller's Senate seat)
