Wrestling mogul Linda McMahon, who has already spent $22 million of her own money in this campaign, won the Connecticut Republican Senate nomination, setting up a November showdown with longtime Democratic state attorney general Richard Blumenthal for the seat held by the reluctantly retiring Chris Dodd.
Blumenthal, who has been hobbled by well-publicized misstatements erroneously implying that he had fought in Vietnam, led McMahon 50-to-40 percent in a recent Quinnipiac University poll.
McMahon had been expected to win the primary, but there were troubling political signs in her apparent inability to command a majority of the GOP vote in the three-way primary. Running second in the low-turnout primary, with about one third of the vote, was former three-term congressman Rob Simmons, initially recruited for the race by the national Republican Party.
But the under-funded Simmons had been an erratic candidate, suspending active campaigning for more than two months after he failed to win the Senate endorsement at the state GOP convention. Another self-funded candidate, Greenwich investment adviser and free-market conservative Peter Schiff, whose major contribution to the race was the ever-tasteful slogan "Schiff Happens," was running third about 20 percent of the vote.
