Not only that, but journalists were reporting via Twitter that night that:

* Every single Tea Party candidate's (including Peter Schiff's) video had mysterious technical difficulties and the machine would not play them, whereas all the establishment candidates' videos played just fine. (All the candidates showed a 3 minute video from their campaign before the voting began).
* The candidates were told that no food or drink was allowed in the gift bags that the candidates handed out to attendees, but Linda McMahon was allowed to put candy, snacks, and water bottles in her gift bags.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Connecticut Republicans have endorsed former World Wrestling Entertainment executive Linda McMahon for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Chris Dodd.

Blumanthal received the Democratic party's endorsement for the Senate seat earlier Friday.

McMahon beat out former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons and Fairfield County money manager (http://www.ksdk.com/news/world/story.aspx?storyid=202666#) Peter Schiff for the Republican nomination.

She stepped down as chief executive officer of WWE last fall to run and pledged $50 million for the race.

Is there supposed to be a decimal in that number? McMahon definitely hasn't spent anywhere near that much on this race.

Just like in Jersey, the GOP will typically nominate whoever has the most money with little concern for anything else.

Yet another reason to get the GOP officers out of their jobs. They try to just win an election, and care nothing about Conservatism- let alone principles.
