White House Continues to Court Capito

U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, is among a dozen or so GOP House members meeting at the White House with Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel today, The National Journal's Hotline On Call reports.

The visit is but the latest for Capito as the administration reaches out to Republicans in Congress. The item notes that this batch of GOP members belong to The Tuesday Group, which The Hill earlier reported "takes its name from a group of Republican centrists who meet weekly in the basement of the Capitol to discuss their policy priorities."

The group also has a political action committee, which according to the Center for Responsive Politics included Capito among two dozen House Republicans to whom it contributed $10,000 apiece during the most recent election cycle.
