1. Typical hypocritical Repube
Declared bankruptcy, then supports the party that a)wants to put people deeper in debt and b) wants to tighten bankruptcy rules.

Knocks Blumenthal about his service in Vietnam (or lack thereof), but I never here anything about the AWOL Chimp fleeing the Champagne Brigade.

Linda may win that state, though if she does, I nominate Connecticut be considered a Red State.

8. Not a chance. She's trailing badly.

She can spend her entire fortune, but it won't save her. Blumenthal is hated by many here in CT, but McMahon is hated much, much more.

3. I just watched the NY news after the debate ..they scalded the Dem candidate as a liar.
and not just about his Vietnam lies (??) there were others as well..sorry I haven't watched this race..so I do not know the particulars..but they slammed the D candidate and ripped him to pieces about lies , they claim he has lied about.

Oh and lots of Conn gets NY News

How come when Repukes lie...many times over snd over and over again...Dems say they " mispoke "..but when a Dem lies or stretches the truth a bit ..the repukes hit hard and hit over and over saying .."they lied!!"

I heard on the ABC NY News..them say the dem candidate "lied" ..at least 6 times ..they repeated the lie meme over snd over again.

6. OpenSecrets.Org is accusing McMahon of not being truthful
Edited on Tue Oct-05-10 12:50 AM by Tony_FLADEM
Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Linda McMahon, who has repeatedly challenged the truthfulness of her Democratic opponent, Richard Blumenthal, has had her own problems with splitting hairs.

McMahon, during a meeting with Tea Party activists earlier this year, denied "spending lobbying dollars in Washington." The problem: McMahon, before launching her Senate campaign, served as chief executive officer of World Wrestling Entertainment (formerly World Wresting Federation) -- a company that lobbied the federal government with professional lobbyists.


McMahon campaign spokesman Ed Patru told Roll Call on Friday that McMahon’s choice of words had been imprecise.

5. I don't really see that. She seems a lot more comfortable /less off-putting than Fiorina
for example. Now, that's not a high bar. But for Repub candidates this year, she doesn't come across so badly.
