Campaigns & Elections magazine includes Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., among "5 Women to Watch: (Who Aren't Named Nancy Pelosi... or Hillary Clinton)" in this month's issue. A subscription is required, but the Charleston Daily Mail has a story on the story.
The AP also gives Capito props for her role in a resolution aimed at protecting congressional pages from future Mark Foleys. The U.S. House unanimously adopted the resolution earlier today.
Capito's former haunt, the House of Delegates, meanwhile has welcomed Sharon Malcolm as the first woman doorkeeper in the Legislature's history. The Daily Mail previously noted the number of female lawmakers in (House) leadership posts in the 78th Legislature. Their ranks include the chairs of House Judiciary and Education.
The Legislature has 19 women out of 134 members, including two in the 34-seat Senate.

I agree. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito should be watched very closely. It's well known that apples don't fall to far from the tree.
