Obama Gets Into the Ring in Connecticut

The Michelle-McMahon cage match?

"Wrestling fans can wear WWE garb to Conn. polls

HARTFORD — A federal judge yesterday ordered Connecticut’s top election official to allow voters to wear World Wrestling Entertainment garb to the polls, ruling that it could not be considered political advertising for Republican Senate candidate Linda McMahon, the company’s former chief executive...

WWE had been a hot topic in the race to fill the seat currently held by Democratic Senator Chris Dodd, who is retiring. McMahon trails Democrat Richard Blumenthal, the state’s attorney general, by double digits, according to recent polls.  

How discouraging that the hot topic is the WWE.

I suppose either way they are electing a liar.

Politics and wrestling are so similar!

"Blumenthal gets Michelle Obama’s support for Senate" by Everton Bailey Jr., Associated Press  |  October 19, 2010

STAMFORD, Conn. — Michelle Obama said the president remains committed to reform in health care, education, veterans’ aid, clean-energy initiatives, and other issues.

She also urged the audience not to lose faith in her husband’s vision for the country, despite change not coming as quickly as some had hoped.  

Already have.

“Many of us came in this expecting to see all the change we talked about to happen all at once,’’ she said.

“But the truth is, it’s going to take a lot longer to dig ourselves out of this hole than any of us imagined.’’

Why did he ESCALATE the WARS?

"Obama returning to Conn. to stump for his party

HARTFORD — President Obama will be making his second trip to Connecticut this election season, visiting Bridgeport three days before the midterm elections in support of the state’s Democratic candidates....  

Just making sure they hold on to the few they will win on November 2nd, 'eh?

For the record, I AM PREDICTING a 50-50 split! 

Democrats will win Connecticut, the two New York seats, California, Delaware, and Washington state. Everything in-between will go red (with Illinois being the only possible flip to blue, what with the history of election-rigging from Obama's home city, making it 51-49). 

That will leave Joe Lieberman as the pivot-point for party control for the second time (being the filibuster-breaker this last time out).  Amazing how that works out.
