* The majority of Americans are in favor of bringing our soldiers home from Iraq.

* Republican Shelley Moore Capito has repeatedly voted in favor of President Bush's failed Iraq War policies.

* It's been 13 days since any West Virginia newspaper mentioned Shelley Moore Capito's unpopular stance on the Iraq War.

Matthews criticized Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., for voting against the recent legislation and supporting Bush’s policies in Iraq.

Who will break the silence?

I wonder how long it's been since any of the "news"paper columnists like Maria Lorensen or Hoppy Kercheval has mentioned Rubberstamp Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito's support of keeping U.S. troops occupying Iraq and stuck in the middle of their civil war?

There was a letter to the editor in today's Journal supporting a run by Anne Barth from well-known local Democratic activist Stephen Skinner. The Democrats are eager to take Capito on.
