Confident? Capito is a sub-par Republican but I’d worry about running a second tier candidate against a rat that’s won statewide.
My biggest concern with having Capito as our nominee has long been the Democrats running some good ol’ boy who wil claim to be a social conservative and point out (correctly) that Capito has cast a whole slew of pro-abortion votes (not that Jay Rockefeller wasn’t 100% pro-abortion, or that “pro-life” Joe Manchin’s voting record has been any better than Capito’s). In a sense, having Tennant as the presumptive Dem nominee is good news gor Capito, and also for our chances of electing a Republican to the Senate from WV: Capito will benefit by making it less likely that GOP primary voters will roll the dice and nominate some second-or third-tier candidate with little in the way of money or name ID when the RATs are pulling out the big guns (or at least among the largest gun they have left in their decreasing arsenal), and Tennant’s candidacy is a boon to our odds of winning because Tennant is (from what I understand) a down-the-line liberal who would be hard-pressed to pretend to be a social conservative.
