Linda McMahon Considering A Challenge To Joe Lieberman
Former WWE executive Linda McMahon, who lost her Senate race to Richard Blumenthal, says she may challenge Joe Lieberman for his seat when it comes up in 2012 (h/t Taegan Goddard). Word is another candidate who could emerge on the Democratic side is Ted Kennedy, Jr.

In her first television interview since election night, Republican Linda McMahon gave signals that she may run for political office again, possibly in 2012 for the senate seat currently held by independent Joe Lieberman.

During a taping of “Face the State with Dennis House,” the former WWE CEO said she wouldn’t rule out a future run. “I’m not taking anything off the table,” she said, declining to be specific.

3. It might be amusing to see the two take each other on...
as long as we had a good Democratic candidate ready to go. Is Teddy Jr. considering it?

5. Oh for pity's sake!1 Can't these losers GO AWAY when they lose?!1 Plus,
this pair-up is the ultimate Battle of the Losers. Joementum was the original who apparently took the VP pick as some kind of blessing to the max and who would not go away, followed by the Quitter and whassisname the-baby-daddy.

to get a real progressive elected to the other Senate seat from CT.

10. Hell no.
I bleed orange and blue, and thought 2009 was a great matchup that went the wrong way.

9. Whatever, as long as Holy Asshole is challenged from the left
then I got no issues.

Let McMahon spend all their money and go bankrupt.

14. She's determined ,isn't she?
Is Joe even gonna run? I think he burned his bridges last time around.

Apparently Ned Lamont's cachet has evaporated too.. I hope CT dems are getting their ducks in a row & can find a strong candidate.

22. Maybe she should spend more money next time
After all, Connecticut voters don't have any idea who she is.
