>>McMahon should use that clip in her advertisments: Send me to Congress; this is what I’ll do. Clip follows.

Actually……that would be a commercial that people could identify with and no-doubt remember.

And Nixon is worried Republicans might nominate for senator a woman “whose only experience solving problems is, as the Fairfield Weekly said, ‘kicking a guy in the balls.’”

Have you talked to any women lately? Have you talked to any Big Brother survivalists? Some in the Republican Party were hoping against hope that outgoing Gov. Rell had the intestinal fortitude to kick the Democratic legislative leadership — you know who those guys are — in the in the balls. They richly deserved it.

She didn’t.

AS,

Your sour grapes are showing. Really, do you realize how funny this is: Progressives in the Democratic Party – there are progressives in the Republican Party as well, but the troops are marching in the opposite direction — have for two decades been braiding the rope they plan to use to hang the rich and level down the peaks so that everyone in society can join a union and plunder unorganized workers. Now comes McMahon, and what is their complaint? They fear she may use her millions to escape hanging. Too hilarious for words.

ACR–

Linda is our opponent, not Rob.

Your side is desperate for a $50 Million GOTV operation, and if that means kissing WWE’s, Cappiello’s, and Mrs. Healy’s ass, your side will be happy to comply, even if it means embracing a DCCC and Rahmbo approving RINO.

Come convention time, Linda will have bought herself a lead in the polls, and that will be the only thing that matters.

Except it won’t matter once Dodd retires in favor of Big Dick Blumenthal….

>>If someone who has already been in congress is losing endorsements

“Losing”???
Who, specifically has switched?

As of tonight, Rob’s one short of a full 50% of the 72 state central members alone. That has nothing to do with the others that have already endorsed him.

Further, his support is largely more serious long time rank and file folks that have been stuffing envelopes, manning phone banks, recruiting candidates and running big and small fund raisers for various candidates for years, if not decades.

In other words; the backbone of the party.

Rob has been going out and lending whatever support he could to candidates and town committees for over 20 years. Those actions now afford him a lot of goodwill and loyalty.

How long ago did you come out in favor of Linda?

Considering my disparaging remarks about the McMahons and their “empire” I find that comment somewhat amusing. A competitive primary between Simmons and McMahon is something few of us would have anticipated, if that indeed transpires. I guess we’ll see.

The endorsements of a couple of little-known mayors and state senator whose your campaign manager’s buddy is quite unimpressive. This is still Simmons’ race to lose. McMahon can spend her entire fortune, if she so chooses. The party apparatus is still with Simmons, in a big way.

Hmmm, I wonder what Linda promised/paid for Boughton and Stewart’s endorsements? And does this indicate that she’s planning to go RINO in response to Simmons’ “full tea bag” approach?

PS — Nixon, of course Healy wants to keep McMahon in the race, as she’s paying the GOP chair’s wife $150,000/year!

Ergo Buckley, if McMahon got any endorsements at all, you would have to say Simmons’ support is soft.

If someone who has already been in congress is losing endorsements to a complete political neophyte then yes it is an indication Simmons’ support may be softer than previously thought, in my opinion.

22 endorsements indicate that? Rob has been rolling out endorsements since the day he started- and they keep coming. Rob has almost 20 endorsements from the State House alone- never mind the other elected officials, state central members, and activists who have already come out in his support. Rob is bringing money in from all over the country. It’s easy to spend your own money- getting people to support you and give up their money in these difficult times is an indication of support and respect for a qualified candidate.

22 endorsements for McMahon already? That would suggest Rob Simmons does not have this sewn up quite yet. And no doubt he does not want a long and expensive primary with Linda McMahon, despite the attention that would garner.

The Fairfield Weekly just said: If we were Healy, we’d also try to do away with the nearly unelectable McMahon. Her business is an embarrassment and she has no qualifications for governing. She doesn’t even vote. But you can’t flick aside someone with $30 million to spend on the race (and who’s been videotaped kicking a guy in the balls).

Come on folks, Linda McMahon is an embarrassment. Just because the Dems. have comedian turned Senator Al Franken doesn’t mean we should nominate someone whose only experience solving problems is by as the Fairfield Weekly said “kicking a guy in the balls.”

So after all this hubbub, all Linda has to show for it is one super-delegate?

Looks like I’m setting my blackberry to ignore emails from linda2010.com.
