McMahon Ad Targets Obama Supporters

Senate

A new ad from the Linda McMahon (R) campaign features supporters of Barack Obama who also plan to vote for McMahon. Democrats -- and some Republicans -- are questioning the ad, which says McMahon would work with Obama if elected.

Chris Murphy (D) told The Associated Press that the claim McMahon would work with Obama is a "lie."

The Hartford Courant reports that the ad had a backlash on Facebook and Twitter from angry McMahon supporters.
