I have never followed professional wrestling, but I love Linda McMahon, who is something of a Democratic rabbits foot. I would love to see her move from state to state every two years, running for the US Senate against a different Democratic candidate and ensuring their victory. My impression (from across the continent), is that she was not a Tea Party candidate (probably not all that useful in Connecticut) per se, and not part of their movement, but she was more conservative than Chris Shays, the other Republican who would have run last fall (she beat him), and she did get the endorsement of some Tea Party groups. It was widely reported that she spent $50M of her own money on her first Senate run in 2010 - not sure how much she spent in 2012. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
