Linda McMahon for Senate 2010 Statement on the Quinnipiac University Poll
West Hartford, Conn., September 14, 2010 – Linda McMahon for Senate 2010 spokesman Ed Patru released the following statement in reaction to today’s Quinnipiac University poll:
"Connecticut voters are anxious about the state of the economy and frustrated that the career politicians just don’t get it. They are moving toward Linda because she gets it. She’s been a working mother who’s had to balance raising a family with a career; she’s been bankrupt and she’s started over. She doesn’t have to pretend she knows what’s it’s like to experience economic anxiety and hardship, because she’s actually lived it. And unlike the career politicians, she doesn’t have to pretend she understands how small businesses create jobs because she’s actually built a business and created jobs. She has the right kinds of experience, right now.
“Dick Blumenthal is just another politician and Connecticut can’t afford more of the same. He says he’s fighting for ordinary people, but he supported a partisan assault on health care that made health care more expensive while cutting over $500 billion from Medicare. He supports the President’s national energy tax that will increase electricity bills by $1,000 per household, raise gas prices by 68 cents a gallon and will cost Connecticut another 13,600 jobs. He says he supports lower taxes, but he voted for the largest tax in Connecticut history. Dick Blumenthal just doesn’t get it.
“Since January, Dick Blumenthal’s 41-point lead in the polls has all but evaporated. While Linda has been focused on economic recovery and job creation, Blumenthal has been waiting out the clock and relying on his political allies to run negative attacks against Linda – attacks that were paid for by tens of thousands of dollars secretly funneled from the Blumenthal estate.
“This will be an election, not a coronation. And in November, Connecticut voters will have a clear choice between a career politician who doesn’t get it and a proven job creator who does.”
