A Capito staffer is someone working for WV's only Republican congressional representative, Shelley Moore Capito. Grassroots involvement in getting her re-elected was more or less the focus of the meeting, though the things discussed were general enough to be used in any election race. I told them that as I am not in Shelley's district, I would hope to help out with Jay Wolfe's efforts to unseat Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV.
Oh, I get it now. Can you believe that rat Rockefeller is such a rat? Well, yeah, you can believe it. His namesake would roll over in his grave if he saw the way "the cousins" are acting.
The old man was no saint, but that doesn't explain why the relatives have gone around the bend, politically. I wish there was some way to harness all that self-motivating liberal guilt and "guilt" them into conservatives. But of course, that would require a functioning brain.
