How can you claim to be a
political figure when you are on
stage wrestling with your own
daughter?
Connecticut resident Stacey Smith • Pinpointing the problem Linda McMahon has with wooing female voters. Part of it is that she’s one of the driving forces behind the WWE, an organization which not only doesn’t cater to women but portrays them cartoonishly. She’s also getting guff because she’s spent so much time and money on negative advertising. The end result? Richard Blumenthal is leading her 2:1 among females, the effect of which has put him well ahead in the race to replace Chris Dodd in the Senate. source
We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: Any woman who can take a move like this and make a successful run for Senate deserves to be in office. And McMahon looks like she’ll have her chance – she won her Senate primary in Connecticut. Question: Will a woman who openly peddled violence to kids through the WWE have a better chance of winning than Richard Blumenthal, a guy who was dishonest about his military service? We’ll find out. source
Christopher Dodd better watch out. He’s probably never faced an opponent in a Connecticut Senate race who could take a move like this, then lived to tell about it. It somehow makes any other political attack seems innocuous in comparison.source
