McMahon wins CT-SEN primary

</abbr>Former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda E. McMahon, an extraordinarily wealthy political rookie who just one year ago was largely unknown outside of her industry, has emerged as the victor in Tuesday's three-way Republican primary.
By a decisive margin, McMahon defeated Republicans Rob Simmons and Peter Schiff. She now faces Democrat Richard Blumenthal in a November battle to fill the U.S. Senate seat long held by Christopher Dodd.
The race drew national attention as much for its lavish spending as for its bizarre, sideshow qualities. McMahon already plowed more than $21 million of her vast fortune into her campaign and has said she is prepared to spend up to $29 million more.
Her critics combed YouTube for embarrassing footage of her in the ring; one clip of her kicking a wrestler in the groin wound up in a Schiff ad. Opponents also attacked WWE for the sexually provocative nature of some of its content as well as its failure to prevent wrestlers from abusing steroids and other drugs.
But McMahon successfully portrayed herself as a savvy businesswoman who will bring a fresh approach to Washington. It was a message that resonated, especially in a year when many voters appear to have grown weary of D.C. insiders. She also assembled a skilled campaign team and top-notch opposition research. And she turned out to be a skilled campaigner who connected with voters on the trail.

I hope that "the same" doesn't refer to the PG era, since that would be retarded and you're smarter than that.

;)

Good for her.

god damnit........

Politics is rated R

Or at least neckties.

Interesting. I think someone should make a poll on whether they want her to win or not. Given that most of you here sound like tree huggin' hippies, the poll should read mostly no. But it would be interesting to see how people here vote. If it's anything like the rest of the country, then actual political views will probably not factor in.

I cant wait till HHH inherits the WWE through Stephanie and then decides to run for something.

I see what you're trying to say, that the rest of us would want her to lose because of her impact on wrestling and not her impact on the political world but that's not necessarily true. She actually comes off a bit of an idiot when it comes to politics, seemingly not knowing what she's doing and making blunder after blunder.
If anything, I'd prefer to vote for somebody with a bit more experience in that career.

Have you ever tried hugging a tree? It's fun. Except the splinters. I made love to a tree once...The bark burn was worth it.

I always do my tree mating in the fall when the sap can really lube things up. No bark burn for me.

I don't know enough about the CT senate race to know if she's better or worse than the Dem running, so I'm not sure I really give a shit. If I had any inlking that she really was hurting pro wrestling by running, I might oppose her on that level alone, but since that's stupid, I don't really have any opinion on her.

Besides, Linda was CEO of the World Wildlife Fund...Why wouldn't treehuggers support her?

I like it rough. :naughty:

Because Panda's eat bamboo.

Pandas are republicans. Eats, shoots, and leaves.

:rant:I'm glad the money I spend on ppv can go to her campaign.That doesn't seem like a waste of cash at all....:rant:

It's called dendrophilia.

Linda McMahon has the most uncomfortable and embarassing campagin commercials their is I'd vote for this guy before I'd vote for Linda McMahon...

...okay maybe I wouldn't.

I dunno. Basil Marceaux-Dot-Com makes a lot of sense.

Especially the "Things of Important" section.

Linda won? Boo.

:wtf:

That was unintentionally pretty amusing, guy looked like he had a stick up his ass and a trained rottweiler clamped to his balls all through that.

Why does this guy look like he should be talking about Diabetes?

This guys is amazing comedy.
