Linda McMahon Loans Senate Campaign $41.5M

[WI_DEM]

Former wrestling executive Linda McMahon has loaned her campaign another $20 million, bringing the Republican's total personal investment in the Connecticut Senate race to $41.5 million to date. She's spent all but $2 million so far in her Senate bid.

The Associated Press this afternoon reported that McMahon, a co-founder of World Wrestling Entertainment, has spent more than $39.5 million. She has almost completely self-funded the effort, most recently loaning her campaign $20 million in the period between July 22 and Sept. 30.

McMahon has indicated a willingness to spend as much as $50 million of her personal fortune on the race, and she's not expected to be paid back.

4. Wow and she will scream like a baby at having to pay a penny more in taxes. It will be so satisfying

to see her lose.

5. It's pretty disturbing how much money they can pull out of their pocket

to try to get a Congressional seat...

...and more disturbing about why it's worth so much to them.

6. I must say I know Wrestling has been succesful

But I had no idea she had Romney type money

7. I wonder if Linda and Meg Whitman will get together after the election for a pity party?
