Connecticut: Jobs and Character

In Connecticut, Republican Candidate, Linda McMahon, has been in the news frequently these past two weeks. She is currently in a close race (closer than the polls suggest) against Democrat Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. Her campaign had a really good couple of weeks!

First, in a debate McMahon stymied her opponent on how to create a job:



She exposed Blumenthal as a career politician who has no knowledge of how the private sector works. Sadly, this is common in Washington and it is primarily the reason why we are seeing the rise of the "Citizen Politician" throughout the country. Americans feel these folks who may not have the political experience can apply their leadership skills honed in their business successes and experiences to government to help this country get out of the economic and employment crisis in which it currently finds itself.

McMahon has also continued on Bluementhal's character issues, specifically his lies about his Vietnam Service. She now gives the veterans their say:



This ad is just as devastating as the first and it turns out the race is tightening. McMahon must stay on message and because this race is in Connecticut, I believe it will go down to the wire. Definitely one to watch!
