Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon scored a lengthy feature in the New York Times that focussed on her run for senate in Connecticut. "I don't think anyone should ever question Linda's resole or tenacity," NBCl Universal Sports chairman Dick Ebersol said.

Meanwhile, State Representative Sean Wiliams of Watertown noted that Linda's background won't help her. " I'm not a prude," said Williams, who is backing another candidate. "There are going to be people who will make a clear case against her — that she has built her business by objectifying women and promoting violence. That will significantly weaken her ability to win against Dodd." To read the full article, visit NYTimes.com.

Powell's POV: Some will vote for Linda based on her WWE background, while others will shy away. In other words, the obvious question is whether WWE will do her more harm than good. Thanks to the multiple Dot Net readers who passed along the story.
