Linda "The Mega-Multi-Millionaire" McMahon today announced a tag team of hires that possibly presage a potentially genius #CTGOPBattleRoyale strategy: to hire every single Republican voter in Connecticut.
First up? Former Republican Candidate for Congress in the 5th CD, David Cappiello, and the wife of Connecticut Republican Party Chair Chris Healy.
DANBURY -- Former state Sen. David Cappiello will be serving as the campaign manager for Linda McMahon's U.S. Senate run, officials with the campaign confirmed Thursday.
McMahon, who recently stepped down as the chief executive officer of the WWE, is one of several Republicans seeking the party's nomination for a chance to unseat U.S. Senator Chris Dodd.
Officials with McMahon's campaign confirmed reports Thursday that Cappiello has been retained as the campaign manager.
Suzan Bibisi, a former newspaper reporter and spokeswoman for the AARP in Connecticut who is married to Republican state Chairman Chris Healy, has been hired by U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon.
News of Bibisi's new PR job was first reported in the comments section of the Connecticut Local Politics blog. Courant colleague Rick Green confirmed it with the McMahon campaign.
While he can't afford such a tag team, expect more full-frontal whiny attacks like this from Rob "The Testy Teabagger" Simmons as the battle gets underway in earnest:
"Linda McMahon is entitled to spend as much of her professional wrestling fortune as she wants," Simmons said in a statement.
"But Republican voters will not forget that she also spent tens of thousands of dollars to fund negative attack ads against Republican candidates in Connecticut and around the country, and helped put Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel in power."
