WASHINGTON — Linda E. McMahon, the wrestling mogul who spent $50 million of her own money in an aggressive but failed Senate run in Connecticut last year, will announce in the coming week that she will try again, according to two Republicans who are close to her.

Ms. McMahon, the two Republicans said, will seek the party nomination next year for the seat being vacated by Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats and who announced that he would not run for re-election. They requested anonymity to avoid being seen as upstaging Ms. McMahon’s announcement.

Her candidacy has the potential to alter the calculations of other candidates and potential candidates, if only because she has demonstrated an ability to finance a statewide campaign with little difficulty.

In last year’s Senate race, Ms. McMahon built a formidable political organization in just months and then led a hard-charging campaign that transformed a political newcomer into a highly visible figure in the state.

3. First, she is as phony as the professional wrestling where she and her

husband made all their money . Secondly, as a fan of MMA,(Mixed Martial Arts), I wish someone would throw a leg lock on her.:nuke:

4. LOL -- piss away money is right

My boyfriend and I are lifelong registered Democrats who always vote. We kept getting robocalls from her campaign for some unknown reason. Then we saw that only my bf got mailed flyers from her.

The only difference between him and me is that he has a subscription to ESPN magazine. Apparently, her campaign must think that there might be some slight chance that an ESPN subscriber could be a WWF "fan" and might vote for her simply because of that.

They bombarded him with mailed flyers .... all a complete waste of money because he would never vote for her even if she were a Democrat. His words were along the lines of his questioning the judgment of anyone who would marry Vince McMahon.

So go ahead, Linda, piss away more millions. You won't be getting any votes from our household.

6. She can't think of anything to do with her time....so yes, Linda

get out there and waste more of your own money.

7. I knew she couldn't stay away

This dingbat really seems to think she's electable even when it's been shown over and over again that even her figurehead management hasn't done a damn thing for her company. If I was a shareholder of WWE or whatever the hell hubby Vince is calling his charade of an entertainment empire these day's I'd be plenty pissed off.

Now I only hope she's the puke nominee. She got her ass handed to her by Blumenthal last time and I'll wager she'll get just as handily beaten by whoever the Dem's produce. The only puke I'm even the least bit worried about right now is Tom Foley if for no other reason than he actually came across as somewhat likable during the Governors' race against Malloy.
