McMahon Ad Targets Obama Supporters

News and updates on Connecticut's Senate and Third District races.

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.

3rd District

Rosa DeLauro (D): Former presidential candidate George McGovern died on Sunday, and DeLauro cited the anti-war candidate as an inspiration, according to The Associated Press. DeLauro volunteered for one of McGovern’s three presidential campaigns.

Wayne Winsley (R) and volunteers planned to spend Tuesday evening at campaign headquarters in Stratford, according to his Facebook page. "Phone Banking, Sign Making, Brainstorming and more!" he said.
