Linda McMahon closing in on Blumenthal in CT Senate race.

[Soul Crusher]

how can she pull even - and not win - and still do a good job?

I don't follow.  She lost momentum against a guy who lied about one of those things you just can't lie about and recover.  MSN spent 3 months trashing Blum - Chris mathews did it on a daily basis!!!

So you're saying she's a good candidate - who squanders a lead against a liar even MSNBC bashes?  I don't follow...

240 - you are clueless.  BF and I live in far left states. 

[Benny B]

It's Connecticut. No one cares about Blumenthal's lies. Believe me. I asked my parents about it and they couldn't have cared less. Same goes for the rest of the sheeple who vote along party lines in this state.

Too bad the apple fell FAR from the tree.

[Fury]

Too bad the apple fell FAR from the tree.

Come on, man. Blumenthal's fucking terrible. You can lean left or be a democrat and still acknowledge that. The guy is a horrible candidate.

Why was McMahon polling TIED in a far left state?

If she lost by 17 points after training by 17 points (see: ODonnell)... I'd understand.

But she was TIED and managed to blow it.  It's hard to blame the state for being lib, when the voters liked her equally.

She needed to go above and beyond to win over voters here and she didn't. They came out even from the one debate they had and that just doesn't cut it.

I don't think Schiff would've done any better.

In states like NY & CT, the dems are almost always a lock regardless,  240 does not live in a state like this so he doesnt get it.

no he wouldn't have.
Can't wait to get Rell out of office. Stupid bitch

I actually voted dem for governor.

as a Dem (for the most part) welcome to the darkside kid..LMAO

Wasn't the first time I've voted dem. 

I just thought Blumenthal was an atrocious candidate. I bagged on Schiff but he makes Blumenthal look like an even bigger idiot than he is.

He was plummeting and she was rising steady - until oct 1, 2010.

Rassmussen had her within the margin of error - 3 points - it was a stat tie.

Then, it reversed.  He jumped 7 points in 4 weeks.  Why?

Not cause it's a lib state.  cause she lost momentum.  Maybe she ran a weak campaign, I dunno.  But she lost it that last month.

I believe their debate was right around the 1st.

[Soul Crusher]

Again 240 - she would have won if it were almost any other state than CT

[Fury]

Outside of Dodd/Blumenthal, CT dems aren't bad at all. Those two, on the other hand....

If she had WON the debate handily - She'd have won the job.  hard to blame a state's tendencies when you need a challenger to 'knock out' the incumbent.

It was just her inability to 'wow' voters that cost her the job.  They were conservative enough to put her in a tie and give her a chance to win.  Once she got the national spotlight, and it wasn't a staged wrestling match or something she carefully controlled - she was exposed and voters saw thru it.

I'm saying, in 2012, a stronger candidate will emerge from the tea party in all races.  Losers like blum and reid and that bearded marxist coons will LOSE... if yall stop letting rich people and extremists win the nominations.

The repubs no one viable outside of Schiff and he beat himself with his poor campaigning. What's sad is that the dems could have run someone worthwhile and instead they went with the same old terrible career politician.

I don't know much about Blumenthal, actually. But McMahon? Thank God its a no-go for her. Blumenthal had a track record and experience that could be judged, his Vietnam lie notwithstanding.

It's because of those "extremists" that the GOP is winning tonight. The fact that conservatives can compete in blue state, and beat RINOs in the process, is a good sign.

You don't know much about anything dumbass.

GOP will pick a few house and senate seats that you can feel good about, but not enough to stop Obama from pushing the agenda freight train going.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.


Now, go off yourself.

Not happening, fuckhole. Why? Because tomorrow this man will still occupy the White House.
