Blumenthal Accepts Long List of PAC Contributions: The Courant

A FrankSmithSaysNB Editorial

We support Linda McMahon for U.S. Senator.

Linda McMahon's Democratic opponent, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, is as uniquely unqualified to take on this Senate job in these tough times as Linda McMahon is more qualified.

Mr. Blumenthal touts his experience as a reason to send him to Washington, D.C. The problem with this argument is he has the wrong kind of experience. Mr. Blumenthal's experience is entirely in the legal and political arenas. This would be fine if he had business experience as well, but he does not.

On his campaign Web site, Mr. Blumenthal offers some interesting ideas for job creation, such as making permanent the federal Research and Development Tax Credit and providing tax deductions for start-up businesses. Yet, when specifically pressed by Linda McMahon in their first debate about how he would help create jobs, Mr. Blumenthal famously gave a rambling answer, suggesting he has capable policy consultants but knows little about job creation.

Mr. Blumenthal has cited his record as attorney general to demonstrate his concern for the people of Connecticut. Yet, throughout his 20-year tenure, Mr. Blumenthal approached his office with an attitude that has been described as "sue first, ask questions later," which has resulted in thousands of frivolous lawsuits, including his failed suits against a Stamford fertility specialist and a computer company. How someone who embraces a process that creates so much uncertainty, and costs so much money, can be expected to provide steady leadership in troubled times, is a mystery.

For these reasons, we ensupport Linda McMahon for U.S. Senate seat for State of Connecticut.
