[Political Junkie Too]

I just found out about another one from another thread.

Linda McMahon, of WWE fame, is running as a Republican against Chris Dodd.

She has a long history with Democrats, but she is running against Dodd as a "fiscal conservative" for the Republican nomination.

This can't be anything other than a Democrat ploy to split the vote away from Rob Simmons in an attempt to save Dodd.

I certainly believe Linda McMahon is a front. But it gets worse. Simmons is for real but he's no conservative. Hurt himself a lot this summer by calling for a carbon tax instead of Cap and Trade. Clinton, CT RTC website has a slide show of Simmons at a fundraiser last week:

Only people there were RTC members and GOP candidates for local office this Tuesday. In a town where 2,500 is good voter turn-out, we got 400 out for a Tea Party in May but could not get 75 to listen to Simmons.

Tom Foley, also in the race, is a Greenwich Country club Republican. Sam Caligiuri is a social conservative but is getting little attention.

That leaves Peter Schiff. He's for real, he knows the only way to win is to run on the GOP ticket. If he keeps his mouth shut on social issues, he could pull it off. But he has to get off the internet and TV now and then and go meet with the grass roots.
