Murphy had nothing, $$-wise. The only reason I know what Murphy even looks like is because of McMahon's commercials.

First real good news of the nite.

Goodbye Linda McMahon. Enough was enough. Too many ads and too much money spent trying to buy this seat.

Chris will be the youngest US Senator right now if Sherrod Brown beats that idiot Josh Mandel.

This is a great win. The wrestling lady pumped a lot of her own money into a very slick campaign. We saw her TV ads here in NY. Thanks CT for not buying it.

Congrats to Sen-elect Murphy.
