Blumenthal Ups Lead in Race for Conn. Senate Seat

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal increased his lead over Republican Linda McMahon by two points in a Rasmussen poll released Friday, scoring 53 percent to 44 percent.

This month, for the first time, Rasmussen included “leaners” in its results, which it defines as “those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning towards a particular candidate.” Rasmussen said at this point in the campaign, leaners are “the primary indicator of the race.”

Without the leaners, Blumenthal’s lead is 51-43 over McMahon, up from August’s 47-40 score, according to Rasmussen...

1. There isn't a McMahon that isn't a criminal

Seriously, I'm not trying to be hyperbolic here. This is one horrific bunch of people, and dear LORD they must not be allowed to have a say in public policy, however feeble.

2. Her ads don't address issues, tho.

It's just her best friend, another woman "of a certain age", that tells us that "Linda loves to laugh." That's as far as I get before I hit the mute button on my remote...

3. Don't you get it? She is one of us. A regular person who..

happens to have 50 million to spend on an ego rub.

4. Confession: I'm a "smark"

Lousy term for someone who likes wrestling as an exhibition event, admires the athletes, and is COMPLETELY aware that it's scripted.

No, I'm not even horrified at the treatment of women. One look at how they treat their men more or less kills that argument. All their employees are equally worthless.

But as a... (ugh) "smark", I like to follow the business just like football fans follow their selected choice of entertainment.

Picture Linda McMahon happily forcing boob-jobs on the women (as in, "get your tits exploded WITH YOUR OWN MONEY or you never work in this business again"), steroids on the men (again, blackballing for non-compliance in shooting your ass full of horse steroids is par for the course), humiliating them on a regular basis, eagerly embracing nepotism, and reaping the rewards of a complete disregard for the workers that make her money for her. Your CEO's at work.

Then there's Vince, who is without a doubt the most unapologetic monopolist there is. Lots of companies buy out other companies, but how many brag for YEARS on how they put the other guys out of business and cost hundreds of employees their jobs? Seriously, I don't mean "This was a good business decision", I mean "Ha ha, I fucked those guys over good for competing with me". And no, that wasn't from a wrestling sketch, that was a business magazine article (which I am trying to find and will link to).

Their kids like to pretend they're just actors, but for anyone who pays the slightest bit of attention it's painfully obvious they're the wrestling equivalent of Rupert Murdoch's brat.

Seriously. If you only care about fair treatment of workers but think wrestlers deserve to die horribly after having their bodies abused to invalidity, still, NO McMahon can be allowed public office.
