Professional wrestling executive Linda McMahon is going to run for the Republican nomination to take on Sen. Chris Dodd -- or, as this AP story puts it, "now she's plotting a smackdown" of the veteran Democratic lawmaker. The wife of Vince McMahon, she will join a field that includes former Congressman Rob Simmons, former Ambassador Tom Foley, state Sen. Sam Caligiuri, and possibly libertarian financial guru Peter Schiff. Dodd has trailed the frontrunning Republicans in several statewide polls, with the lesser known GOP candidates polling competitively against him. McMahon would likely self-finance.

Will she wear a costume?

She would be a surprisingly comfortable fit in today's GOP, considering how closely the black-and-white, Good Vs Evil worldview of its supporters resembles the story lines in professional wrestling.

Sorry, if this was any other year would give her a chance... but the other guys are polling ahead of Dodd already...

Let's see Dodd try to make a sandwich out of her!
Smackdown indeed and deservedly so.

Maybe she can take the office next to Al Franken.

Ole Kennedy would not have been able to leave her to drown.
At least in the WWE the criminals don't PRETEND to be nice.
