Linda McMahon of World Wrestling Entertainment has resigned her position as CEO in order to seek the republican nomination to run against Connecticut senator, Chris Dodd.
Due to his involvement in the Banking Disaster, and his overall corruption, Dodd is seen as one of the most vulnerable Democrat incumbents in the next election.
There’s expected to be a bit of mud wrestling among a field of four Republican candidates in the primary. McMahon will run against former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, state Sen. Sam Caligiuri and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Tom Foley.
This could be one of the more interesting races to watch. McMahon has not been in politics before, and the Jesse Ventura phenomenon in Minnesota comes to mind.
