It would be wonderful if Mrs. McMahon took on Chris Dodd and beat him! I am curious how this is an issue for Mrs. McMahon ? Simmons should wise up and get behind McMahon's candidacy. She has a legitimate shot at pulling off the upset for the ages. Linda McMahon like Mr. Pavia is A BREATH OF FRESH AIR ! It would be wonderful if Mrs. McMahon took on Chris Dodd and beat him!

She built WWE years ago. Why do politics always have to bring up things that happened so long ago? When we live in the past, we lose sight of whats going to happen in the future. Yes, it happened. Get over it. We need to get things back and running. What she's trying to do now may be opposite of what she did in the past, but its all with good intention and will be a positive effect for our country. Plus WWE is a huge franchise now and doesn't need a ton of tax money to make it on their own. Its little buisnesses when they start that need that. Viva McMahon.

Unfornunatly this typifies a party that controls the state house and senate. They love the legislation when it suits their ideas of responsible legislative work. But let a business that is run by a member of the minority party take advantage of their ill crafted work, and there will be hell to pay. I personally would love to see term limits at every level of government. This of course will never happen because the deck is stacked in favor of every incumbent unless you have the money that Ms. McMahon has by way of hard work.

Do they know where they write the shows, where they produce the "highlight" packages that are seen every week on their shows, where they do most of the studio photography, tape "on location" vignettes, create music and edit DVD releases? The answer to that very question is Stamford, Connecticut. Those Tax Incentives that WWE is getting helps keep more people working there as the economy is taking a dive, and revenues for WWE are otherwise down.
