There is still a place for liars in politics?

Richard Blumenthal is still damaged, but he remains the favorite in this ‘Rat voting state. Linda McMahon has some Al Franken-type image problems, due to the industry she works in.

Apparently this idiot Dick Blumenthal can stand up on stage and lie and lie and lie — and nobody gives a damn, nobody cares about it, and all his moron supporters plan to continue to support him.

Only in America!

Any poll, where the Dem is not leading by 10... he is in SERIOUS trouble. I expect this to close. Perhaps even a Scott Brown win for the RINO GOP. Not as exciting as Joe Miller... but, the more the better.

No improvement by McMahon in 2 weeks, as the CT media totally ignore Blumenthal lies and focus upon allegations of steroids and death benefit trivia at McMahon’s WWE.

Well, I’d be a whole lot happier if McMahon was up 9 points, but I believe there is still time. Linda is smart, tough, and has lots of cash. She has a shot.

If nothing else, maybe she can force the DNC to spend big money shoring up Blumnethal’s campaign. They can’t defend every where in strength, and a close race in CT. might open some other opportunities across the country.

“Conn. Voters must like unemployment and high tax. Amazing.”

You got that right. 0bama has an approval of 55% here. Damn scary. Makes me wonder if this state is just too far gone. Despite unemployment being sky high people still think 0bama is doing a good job?? They are morons. No one liked Dodd but now we are going to get a senator just like him, only more boring.

One hope maybe is that after these 2 debate McMahon will gain because she is so sharp and personable while Blumenthal is dull and stiff.

If Linda should fall short though I hope she will consider running again in ‘12. I think Lieberman will run again, presumably as an independent unless he wants to run as a Dem this time. If the Dems run someone else then they will split the vote and perhaps allow a Republican like Linda to win with under 50%.

McMahon is pretty liberal on social issues. Wouldn’t bother me if she gave the Dems a scare and sucked up their resources but lost narrowly.

Voter turnout is the key, not popularity in a poll. If fed up voters in CT (and there are plenty of us) out-number the Obamulans, Linda wins.

Go Linda!!

FWIW... I was driving around East Hartford, Manchester and Glastonbury today... LINDA signs were everywhere! In yards of very modest homes, and on lawns of private businesses. I was kind of stunned.

I haven't seen ONE Blumenthal sign yet, but it's still kind of early...

More evidence of the media’s liberal bias.

Sadly, here in CT, obama (pbuh) stickers are still alive and well on many, many cars.
Granted, most of them are driven by white women in semi-upscale cars...draw what conclusions from that which you will.

I’m sure these are the same dolts that will vote in that oily reptile blumenthal.
