A campaign finance report shows that Linda McMahon is dishing out $6.5 million of her own money to bid for the U.S. Senate. A Hartford Courant story notes that Linda has "loaned $6 million to the campaign and spent about $525,000 of her own money on campaign expenses and in-kind contributions."

Powell's POV: It's no surprise that Linda is spending big money on her campaign, as that's the thing that makes her a formidable contender. She has an uphill battle now that controversial incumbent Christopher Dodd has dropped out of the race.
