Linda McMahon of World Wrestling Entertainment (f/k/a World Wrestling Federation) has an extremely problematic political contribution history that in my opinion disqualifies her as an appropriate Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat presently occupied by the retiring Chris Dodd.
A list of Linda's political contributions can be found at NewsMeat
Several contributions stand out as so flagrantly antithetical to anti-Statist values that they should be cause for genuine concern to both the delegates to this weekend's Connecticut Republican Convention as well as to Connecticut's Republican and Independent voters generally.
These contributions include:

Several contributions stand out as so flagrantly antithetical to anti-Statist values that they should be cause for genuine concern to both the delegates to this weekend's Connecticut Republican Convention as well as to Connecticut's Republican and Independent voters generally.
These contributions include:
| McMahon, Linda E. Greenwich, CT 06831 World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. | DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE (D) | - | $10,000 primary | 09/29/06 |
| McMahon, Linda E Greenwich, CT 06831 World Wrestling Entertainment Inc./ | FORWARD TOGETHER PAC | - | $5,000 primary | 05/22/06 |
| McMahon, Linda Stamford, CT 06902 World Wrestling Federation/CEO | Rahm Emanuel (D) House (IL District: 05) FRIENDS OF RAHM EMANUEL | Won | $1,000 primary | 12/19/05 |
| McMahon, Linda Stamford, CT 06902 World Wrestling Federation/CEO | Rahm Emanuel (D) House (IL District: 05) FRIENDS OF RAHM EMANUEL | Won | $1,000 general | 04/14/04 |
| Linda McMahon Stamford, CT 06902 World Wrestling Federation/CEO | Rahm Emanuel (D) House (IL District: 05) FRIENDS OF RAHM EMANUEL | Won | $1,000 primary | 01/18/02 |
In a Youtube Video (below) Linda tried to foist off the 2005 contribution to Rahm's machine as a "kind of-sort of" one-off contribution made solely in deference to the WWE's long time publicity agent Ari Emanuel (upon whom Entourage character Ari Gold is modeled)
So, my opinion is that Linda McMahon DOES NOT DESERVE the Party's nomination as the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate this November.
Both Peter Schiff and Rob Simmons are far more loyal to limited government principles and, accordingly, far more deserving of the Party's nod than is McMahon.
Were I delegate, I'd vote for Peter Schiff.
Peter Schiff for President!
