Linda McMahon Trying For Senate Seat In Connecticut

[mrtonguetwista]

GREENWICH, Conn. (CBS) ―
In a development sure to provoke sardonic comparisons between politics and professional wrestling, World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. said Wednesday Linda McMahon is stepping down as its chief executive to seek the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat from Connecticut now held by Democrat Christopher Dodd.

WWE said in a statement Wednesday morning that McMahon's husband, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, is assuming her duties as CEO.

Linda McMahon formally announced her candidacy Wednesday morning. She says Washington is "out of control" and Dodd has "lost his way and our trust."

The 60-year-old McMahon is up against three other Republicans -- former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, state Sen. Sam Caligiuri and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Tom Foley.

Dodd plans to run for a sixth term next year.

she might cause somewhat of a media frenzy but i doubt she would win

No way Dodd loses that seat... But she won't even win the republican nomination.

just another way to get more attention back on wrestling.

If only.

Chris Dodd is a liberal fag. I hope she wins.

I would not be surprised if she won. It will be a test of their legendary promoting status.

on top of that i'm surprised it was reported in yahoo sports!

I just read that she's paying for her own candidacy and that she won't be taking donations over 100 dollars. I like that.

At least she can get into office before someone buys her.

WWE is gonna become a disney cartoon(almost is!!!) if she wins, which I doubt cause that state is very democratic

r.

I do to. But on the flip side, if you are already a billionaire, you can sponsor things that will enhance your fortune once in office to offset the donations. However, I would probably vote for her simply because she is new blood, and not a career politician.

Yeah that's the direction I've been going in lately, although it seems like the more rich you are, the less qualified you seem to represent me as a person... so I dunno. You can't fuckin' win.
