Dem Party giving Blumenthal pre-convention help?

A few weeks ago I wrote about concerns within Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rob Simmons’ camp that state GOP boss Chris Healy had already decided he wanted former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon to walk away with the nomination at the May convention.

At the center of the controversy is the fact Healy’s wife has a high-paying job accompanying McMahon on the campaign trail.

It’s only fair that I draw readers’ attention to this story from the southeastern end of the state, published in the Norwich Bulletin, about similar issues among the Democratic candidates vying for their party’s U.S. Senate nomination.

  1. I like the “it’s highly unusual” comment by Chris Healy who doesn’t think it’s highly unusual for people to question his objectivity while his wife is paid $120k/yr by Linda McMahon…..
