About sums it up!!!

[Alter Kaker]

Only problem with your theory is that the current leading candidate, former Congressman Rob Simmons, is so liberal he make Olympia Snowe look like Jim DeMint.

[Agamemnon]

So you are implying perhaps that she’s been on the receiving end of that?

[JrsyJack]

Just throwing it out there. Seemed odd that someone who had contributed so often to Dems in general and Emanuel and his PAC specifically would suddenly want to enter politics as a Republican. I also understand that there is not a whole lot of difference between the 2 in CT.

[Agamemnon]

I participated in a fairly involved Q&A tele-poll about two weeks ago, assessing candidates according to views and positions. When the person mentioned the name Tom Foley I first thought that the former Dem Maj Leader from Washington (who used to stuff airplane food in his pockets) had re-located.

I concluded that the poll was sponsored by Foley, because as all the abortion positions were stated for all the other candidates to get a sense of what my support for their potential candidacy would be, I noticed that Foley's position wasn't also sampled. I asked the interviewer what was Foley's position. Strangely, (or perhaps NOT so strangely) she had no answer....

[Bokababe]

Doesn't mention Peter Schiff, who is also running.

[Mr. Lucky]

Sadly, yours appears to be the most accurate analysis so far.

[mrsixpack36]

I wonder if somehow if ole Rahm is behind this somewhere. Either way he gets a liberal and most likely Dodd re-elected.

[eak3]

yes she is quite sexy... trying saying that to her husband Triple H though lol

[Ann Archy]

BINGO!!!!!! You don;t give someone the MAXIMUM without havingf an IN with them!!

[CGASMIA68]

My sentiments,zacly......Boot Dodds ass out he is a scum bag, stop the cycle and start fresh....we can always dump the next one too

[CGASMIA68]

well i didnt see it yesterday because I dont live here ...I appreciate 2nd posting for that reason

[cake_crumb]

Worked for Ventura...

[Norman Bates]

I think it needs to be clarified in the title exactly who is running. It’s Linda McMahon, but you could go down 20 posts and still believe some babe named Stephanie McMahon is running. Complete confusion.

Thanks!

[Norman Bates]

It's for real. McMahon has a high profile seat on the State Board of Education and is a major Republican fundraiser.

I don't think so. Definitely need to examine post 23. You're going to be sorely disappointed!

[Alter Kaker]

I don't think so. Definitely need to examine post 23. You're going to be sorely disappointed!

On the state level. She's bankrolled the state party. On the Federal level, she's given money to all kinds of people. She's a worldclass RINO, just like all the other GOP candidates.

[farlander]

Argh... Sssssmoooookin’ !!!

[farlander]

LOL I think he’ll need a bit more than that tooth pick in a gunfight... :) In other words, to quote a recent pop song, if he’s got beef, you can tell him I’m vegetarian and don’t give a damn. :)

Disclaimer: this should by no means be interpreted as anything that may put a blemish on my membership in PETA (People for Eating Tasty Animals).

[Norman Bates]

From the looks of that she gave federal money exclusively to Democrats. Maybe that is incomplete.

[Tzimisce]

I’d vote for her.

Course, I’d vote Ronald McDonald if the other guy was Dodd....
