Wrestling tycoon may take on Dodd

An already crowded Republican field in Connecticut may get another entry. Linda McMahon, the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, is considering running in the Republican primary for the chance to take on Chris Dodd.

The Fix reports:

A source close to McMahon said that she is “seriously considering” the race and touted her as a serious candidate based on a resume that includes leading a $1 billion publicly traded company based in Stamford, Conn. The source also noted that McMahon would be willing and able to spend significant sums on the race, an x-factor that could make her competitive in a primary against former representative Rob Simmons, former ambassador Tom Foley and state Sen. Sam Caliguri.
