Dodd GOP Rival WWE CEO Linda McMahon Supports Dems
World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon announced recently that she is poised to lay the smackdown on embattled Sen. Chris Dodd in the 2010 midterm elections. On first glance, this is definitely an uphill battle for McMahon. There are currently no Republican representatives in Congress throughout the northeast and polls show that former Rep. Rob Simmons already has a slight lead over Dodd.
But information released by the Center for Responsive Politics shows that McMahon has a history of donating to Democratic candidates and PACs, a fact that could help her in the mostly blue northeast state. Of the $90,000 she and her husband have contributed since 1989, 51 percent has gone to Democrats. Her top beneficiaries include Dem Mark Warner of Virginia, Obama chief of staff and former Rep. from Illinois Rahm Emanuel, and Dem-turned-Independent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.
It's looking more and more like the battle for Dodd's seat could be the main event of the 2010 election cycle. And there's no doubt that this video should be used in someone's campaign ad... though I'm not sure whether it would hurt or help McMahon:

hello. everyone can appreciate an elbow slam from high atop the ropes, but the celebrity trend in politics is not good. i am not saying a group of legal snobs from Harvard or the corrupt Chicago power underbelly is better. i respect the earnings amassed from following a time tested TV formula; but i do not see how that translates to political reality. the political machine is greedily anxious to take any body's money, and for people inexperienced in local politics, and accustomed to wielding the power that money buys- smacks of entitlement over experience. why should anyone have to make presuppositions about anyone running for office. they should have an Undertaker's record of stands on positions. instead we get "you can't see" , obviously i am the best delusions of self promotion. i would not elect anyone whom at any moment may jump up on their chair, and shout and jump.
