Blumenthal bests McMahon for Conn. Senate seat

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut's longtime Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has won the state's hotly contested U.S. Senate race, defeating a multimillionaire former wrestling executive and keeping the seat in Democratic control.

The 64-year-old Blumenthal defeated Republican newcomer Linda McMahon, who spent about $50 million of her on money on the race. With 3 percent of precincts reporting, Blumenthal had 52 percent of the vote to McMahon's 47 percent.

Blumenthal will fill the seat now held by Sen. Chris Dodd, who did not seek re-election.

Blumenthal won the seat despite conceding he had made several misstatements his military service during the Vietnam era.

Good.  Now we get rid of some that extreme pg rated crap that's been going on.  BTW, Linda spent 40 million dollars on this failed endeavor.  Can't imagine Vince being too happy when combined with the falling ratings and PPV buy numbers.

Hmmm, I'm not so sure. I kind of got the impression that PG was here to stay, regardless of whether Linda won or not.

But you never know, they might loosen up a bit.....

And despite that whacky segment on RAW too, the dream sequence, coma stuff etc. was priceless and Steph at the end looked hot, I'm missing her, never thought I'd say that...
