Campaign Notebook: McMahon Changes Image to Win Voters

News and updates from the campaign trail in Connecticut.

Senate

The Associated Press took a look at the closely-contested race for Senate and finds that Linda McMahon’s attempts to change her image from that of a “groin-kicking CEO to grandmother” have been paying off.

Fifth District

The Record-Journal continues looking at the differences – and similarities – between Elizabeth Esty and Andrew Roraback in the Fifth District. The newspaper compares the candidates on energy issues, from fracking to investing federal dollars in alternative energy.

Explain to me how an average salary of $60,000 per year for working 183 days during that year and an EXTREMELY generous retirement package (compared to the 240 a year the rest of us have to work) considered "society letting them down"?
