Last night a college classmate we all knew as Shelley Moore–smart, pretty, well-liked, elegant and the daughter of then-West Virginia governor Arch Moore–won the West Virginia U.S. Senate race. Shelley Moore Capito is currently a seven-term member of the House. When she is sworn in in January, she will not be Duke’s first female United States senator. But she will be West Virginia’s first–and the first West Virginia GOP senator in over fifty years. Nicely done, Ms. Moore. See today’s Washington Post and Talking Points.
