Joe Markley, a prominent member of the tea parties in Connecticut, has warmed up to Republican senatorial candidate Linda McMahon:

I was a great skeptic about Linda McMahon, but I must say she has won me over. As a candidate, she has what Peter [Schiff] lacks: a gift for connecting with people, and the management skills to build a winning team. Obviously she does not have his economic insight (who does?) but I think her instincts are good and her nature conservative. Some of my tea party friends may not believe me, but it is impossible not to like and trust Linda when you know her.

McMahon will be at a reception for Markley, who’s running for state senate, tonight in Milford.
