World Wrestling Boss Linda McMahon, wins GOP Senate Primary in CT

Woooo! Cue Rick Flair intro music....

Politics • August 2012 • Views: 2,101

Linda E. McMahon, a former wrestling executive, easily captured Connecticut’s Republican Senate primary on Tuesday night, clinching a second chance to run for a position she failed to win two years ago.

In defeating Christopher Shays, a former United States representative and longtime fixture in moderate politics in the state, Ms. McMahon underscored the power of being an outside candidate, as well as a wealthy one. She outspent her opponent nearly 12 to 1, and flooded the airwaves with advertisements promoting herself as a political maverick who could bring common sense to Washington.

I am waiting for Steve Austin to run for president next.

I think this clip is from the last GOP or Tea Party convention:

I wonder if the people who write these stories look for the stupidest people they can find.

“We like Chris Shays, but I tend to think he’s a career politician. He’s been in government a long, long time,” said Roy Ferris, 76, a retired telephone repairman from Fairfield

AAAH. McMahon's been running for every open statewide office in Connecticut for the last couple of years, you'd think that'd give a guy like this a clue.

In Westport, Georgene Huber, 81, voted for Mr. Shays “because he’s been a friend all these years.” But her husband, William, 84, a retired executive at United Technologies, said he had grown more conservative of late.

“We need the entrepreneurial spirit again in our country.”

You dope. It's wrestling. WRESTLING. It does not apply to the real world in any way whatsoever. Gee, I wonder why some codger would get all conservative all of a sudden. And the WWE is corrupt as FUCK.

In Fairfield, Kellie Kowalsky, 50, who works for Clear Channel Communications, said she was voting for Ms. McMahon. Did she consider the wrestling executive inexperienced in government?

“That’s an absolute plus,” she said.

Congratulations. McMahon found the right voter like you to vote for her. It will make the inevitable fleecing easier to bear. P.T. Barnum was so proud.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

Well that last woman does work for the Clear Channel. I don't get these voters who like having people inexperienced in government to be in government because inevitably they're going to become part of the same machine. Besides Shays unlike McMahon actually understands politics. This really seems like a Mike Castle-Christine O'Donnell situation where the guy who actually understands how government works is defeated by someone else who doesn't. And this is in Connecticut and Delaware, two states that aren't exactly wingnutty.

That is why I don't make assumptions that the people who would be hurt most by the Ryan budget won't vote for the guy anyway out of some tribal loyalty or dog whistle politics or just plain emotion over rationalization.

It make no difference who we vote for: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".
