McMahon’s $100 Million Misses Connecticut Senate Seat Win

"Linda McMahon, the former head of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. (WWE), lost her second U.S. Senate bid in three years after spending almost $100 million of her fortune on two Connecticut campaigns.  McMahon, a 64-year-old Republican whose husband, Vince, still runs the Stamford, Connecticut-based company, lost to Democrat Chris Murphy, 57 percent to 41 percent, according to the Associated Press  with 11 percent of precincts counted. Murphy, 39, is a three-term U.S. representative from Cheshire. "
