Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon close to spending another $50 million in this year's Senate campaign

Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon, who spent $50 million of her own money in 2008 running for the US Senate in Connecticut, has spent $42.6 million this election cycle according to campaign finance reports. McMahon loaned her campaign another $3.3 million on Tuesday of this week. You can read more at http://www.newsday.com/news/region-state/apnewsbreak-mcmahon-spending-hits-42-6-million-1.4157767.

Shore's Slant: Linda has primarily self-funded both her campaigns, refusing to take donations from large PACS in the process. The race remains too close to call at this point, though the nature of Connecticut politics will certainly benefit McMahon's opponent, Democrat Congressman Chris Murphy.
