A few items on the senatorial race:

  • Richard Blumenthal expands his double-digit lead over Linda McMahon in Rasmussen Reports’ latest poll.
  • McMahon visits black churches in New Haven — and neglects to inform the press.
  • Blumenthal’s campaign arranges a press conference for the father of Chris Benoit, a former wrestler for World Wrestling Entertainment who committed suicide after killing his wife and son in 2007.
  • Blumenthal releases a new ad, “Setting the Record Straight.”
