Debating Linda McMahon's Debating Style
The Hartford CourantDebates are not Linda McMahon's strong point. I think we can all agree on that now.

Apparently We Won't Be Getting $6,000 Linda Promised
The Hartford CourantSo I guess we're not going to be getting that $500 a month Linda's been promising in her campaign ads. Brandi from Naugatuck must be devastated. What happened to our money?
