The Race for Senator Heats Up in Connecticut: It's McMahon Challenging Blumenthal



Linda McMahon



Richard Blumenthal

Now that the primary results are in, Connecticut political races begin in earnest.

For U.S. Senate, the Democratic candidate is Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.

He has served as the state's top prosecutor for the last 20 years and is now chomping at the bits to fill the seat of Senator Chris Dodd.

He has a competent record of achievement fighting big interests which
his now breaking TV ads will highlight. He has a modest campaign budget.

Blumenthal is pitted against Linda McMahon, a super successful
business executive, who will outspend him ten to one.
(She has already spent $22 million of her own funds to
win the primary and is committed to spend another $28 million
to secure her prize.)

She has tons of experience running the World Wrestling Entertainment empire.

It will prove to be an interesting race.

Who will the one to be the next Junior Senator to Joe Lieberman?
