| CT - And in the Red Corner, Linda McMahon - Let's Get Ready to Rumble! |
| 2010-05-25 |
| Former congressman Rob Simmons is expected to drop out of the Connecticut Senate race at a scheduled 9 a.m. press conference in New London, the Hartford Courant reports. Simmons lost the party's endorsement at the state convention Friday to former professional wrestling CEO Linda McMahon. He had said he would still challenge her in the primary, but apparently has had a change of heart. The move clears the field for McMahon to focus on Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, whom Democrats hope will keep the seat on its side of the aisle following the retirement of longtime Sen. Chris Dodd. Blumenthal has been dealing with the fallout from a New York Times article a week ago that detailed his repeated exaggeration of his military experience, though his campaign believes it's now moved beyond that. |

| #3 the liar is Blumenthal, and he's still in as the Donk-anointed candidate. Simmons is a legit Viet Nam war hero with two bronze stars (earned "in country", unlike Dick). I hope McMahon pulls it off, but I'd have liked to see Simmons more |

| #2 I'm glad the liar is out and I wish McMahon the best. As fake and staged as DC has become she will feel right at home. |
