He's no Annointed One

From the moment Richard Blumenthal announced his candidacy to run for the U.S. Senate Seat held by Chris Dodd, this media darling was given a pass, it was almost a guarantee that he would reclaim the senate seat and dash the hopes of Republicans from claiming a seat that has been void of a Republican for over 30 years.  Now, the Democrats are nervous and they should be.  The man they hoisted on a pedestal is the Martha Coakley of CT politics.  His inability to concisely and clearly communicate makes his ramblings about as coherent as Ozzy Osbourne.  (Sorry Ozzy)  His untested ability to deliver key messages makes him at best a shaky candidate that a gust of air would blow right over.  Lie after lie after lie make him a perfect fit for Washington but a horrible one for the people of Connecticut.  His leadership abilities are unquestionably evident, however a good leader must be able to communicate effectively and Richard Blumenthal lacks this quality, whereas Linda McMahon excels in it.  Voters should want a leader they can trust to deliver honest, clear, concise, factual information without having to dance around the issues, hesitate with they're answers or retract from previous statements.  Linda McMahon's statements need no clarification, they contain the common sense we so desperately need in a time in our nation's history where lies and misinformation seem to be the norm.  In the darkest of times, Linda McMahon is the shining beacon of hope on that hill by the ocean that we can depend on to bring Connecticut out of the depths.  You know, Chris Dodd recently said something telling.  He said that he was proud to have Richard Blumenthal as his successor.  Now when I first heard this, I thought to myself "Can we expect more of Chris Dodd out of Richard Blumenthal"?  When the rest of the country was struggling to pay they're bills, Chris Dodd received a sweetheart deal from the very company he was in charge of regulating.  In one last desperate jab, he made sure that American taxpayers would be giving a substantial amount of money to Connecticut by inserting a whopper into the monstrosity known as ObamaCare.  If Richard Blumenthal is going to be more of the same, another Chris Dodd then the choice becomes more evident that we need Linda McMahon more than ever.  The Democrats have held the Senate seat for 31 years, in the words of Dr. Phil McGraw "How's that been working for ya'"  31 years of bigger government, out of control spending and corruption, do we really need another 31 years of that?  I hope not.
