I think this may be a publicity stunt.

[dalebert]

looks like a stunt...does anyone know if this is serious?

"serious" is subjective to the world of pro wrestling.

DANG! I wanted to post my first breaking news!!!

I’d just as soon that anything having to do with fake wrestling not run as a Republican

[Frantzie]

Not Guilty! Or Guilty! She is a babe.

[CT-Freeper]

It’s pretty serious. Se resigned as CEO of WWE. She’s already got her foot partway in the Connecticut political scene by being appointed to the State Board of Education by Governor Rell. She’s got millions of her on $$ to finance her campaign.

Dodd better watch out - she’ll be a strong contended if she wins the primary. Of course, I’m supporting Caligiuri - but that’s another story.

[TheThinker]

Short-term fix at best.

[Two Kids' Dad]

It doesn’t matter if it starts as a publicity stunt or if it’s a legit run, as long as Dodd loses his job.

Fake wrestling is more entertaining than fake senatoring, though I don’t really like either.

It would also mean that the republicans lose what should be an easy pick up. I hope the voters out there come to their senses in the primary. The McMahons make Chris Dodd look like a saint.

[Lazamataz]

Jimmy Carter suspects racism is what is driving this.

[chris haney]

I hope she is nothing like Jesse Ventura.

“Fake wrestling is more entertaining than fake senatoring, though I don’t really like either.”

I like the old fake wrestling a lot more than the new crap but at least she’s willing to put up her own money.

Stephanie McMahon.....




I agree.... Just WOW!!!!

[Ann Archy]

STUPID....BEYOND STUPID!! McMahon needs to be ashamed for this bad joke. NO ONE in the Pub Party will vote for this.....so you get Dodd again!! Thanks, lady....IDIOT!

[screaming eagle2]

maybe a stunt,maybe not

[Alter Kaker]

This is serious. McMahon is RINO Gov. Jodi Rell's prefered candidate.

For a variety of reasons, Rell hates RINOs Rob Simmons and Sam Caligiuri (who while RINO is probably the least RINO-ish of all the candidates). I'm not sure what she thinks of RINO Tom Foley or Paulite Peter Schiff. Anyway, Rell and McMahon are best buddies.
