The news from Connecticut has become so unwieldy lately that I’ve decided to follow my colleagues’ example.
Senatorial Race
- The Philadelphia Inquirer reveals the identity of World Wrestling Entertainment’s former lobbyist: Rick Santorum.
- The Connecticut Democratic Party calls for WWE to pull its “Stand Up for WWE” ad, which curiously includes a shot of Linda McMahon.
- Dick Blumenthal blows off political speed dating in Manchester, Conn. (my hometown). McMahon shows — and promptly skedaddles.
- Frank Luntz holds a focus group in Stamford, Conn. and finds the room full of fire-breathing McMahon supporters.
Congressional Races
- Rep. Chris Murphy condemns the “shadowy” American Action Network on The Real Story.
- The Hartford Courant endorses Rep. Jim Himes over his Republican challenger, Dan Debicella.
- MyLeftNutmeg is miffed that Debicella is using its footage of Himes.
- Chris Cillizza calls President Obama’s decision to appear in Bridgeport, Conn. on October 30 “a bit odd.”
