In 2010 Mindy Myers helped then-Attorney General Richard Blumenthal portray his opponent for U.S. Senate – Republican Linda McMahon – as a wealthy, out-of-touch candidate using her own fortune to try and buy public office.
In terms of public service, Blumenthal had McMahon beat, having served as the state’s popular chief civil lawyer for two decades. During that time McMahon and her husband were turning Stamford-based World Wrestling Entertainment into a sometimes controversial international pop culture behemoth.
But Blumenthal was and still is hardly a pauper.
This election year Myers is back managing the Senate bid of a monied Democrat who is acting like they’re not.
Myers in November was hired by Elizabeth Warren, who is trying to unseat Sen. Scott Brown, R-Massachusetts, whose 2010 victory in that blue state Republicans hoped at the time signaled blue Connecticut would also go red for McMahon.
Warren just last week was downplaying her wealth on MSNBC and raising some eyebrows in the process.
