So will Linda McMahon buy the Senate seat being

Edited on Thu Mar-18-10 07:55 PM by Grand Taurean

vacated by Chris Dodd?
It seems that Richard Blumenthal's 60%+ is insurmountable. It is CT, though LIEberman got another term in 06'.
As someone raised in CT, I see Blumenthal as unstoppable(one of the nations greatest consumer/workers advocates), though their is discontent nationwide.
McMahon has been able to buy herself a lead in the primary against Rob Simmons.
What do you think?

edit: Blumenthal has an 80% approval rating.

1. Blumenthal will win.

I can see Linda winning the primary, though. Her ads have been all over the TV and she has name recognition.

2. I think so too, but strange things have happened.

People tend to be fickle and turn on a dime.

5. Do we need to be reminded of Martha Coakley?

Blumenthal can't take this race for granted. McMahon definitely believes she can buy this seat. What has she spent so far? Does an hour go by that I don't see her commercials on tv? Or hear her ads on the radio? I think we'll have to fight to keep the seat. We need to break out our checkbooks early and often.

6. In fairness, Blumenthal has never taken

any of his 5 races for AG for granted (he won all five by large margins).
