GOP Senate Candidate Linda McMahon Denounces Romney's 47% Remark

Don't buy a word of it folks. However, a pretty smart move politically speaking.

“I disagree with Governor Romney’s insinuation that 47% of Americans believe they are victims who must depend on the government for their care. I know that the vast majority of those who rely on government are not in that situation because they want to be. People today are struggling because the government has failed to keep America competitive, failed to support job creators, and failed to get our economy back on track.

But those polls were more then a month ago. Have no idea where the race is now and we need new polling. I was polled last week on the race (I live in Connecticut) but that could have been an internal poll.

He's not waving, he's drowning. But don't think any of his fellow GOPers running for office are going to throw him a rope. They're all in it for themselves, so expect more of them to swim as far and fast as possible the other way.

We need to tar and feather them with Mitt's brush as much as possible. He's going down, and we should take down as many with him as we can.

If keeps at it -- and doubtless he will -- he'll create enough drag on their ticket to give us control of congress.

THAT was the politically correct statement for a Republican to make.

Before the McMahon's made it really big with WWF/WWE...They were struggling finacially with a Bankruptcy(the day they filed was the day they had their daughter Stephanie), foreclosure plus they had to rely on food stamps at one point.
