Triple H, Promoting McMahon, Draws Fans From Tri-State Area

Ray Ricafort, 39, drove 90 minutes Saturday morning to visit the headquarters of Fairfield Republicans on Black Rock Turnpike. Ricafort wasn't motivated to drive from Parsippany, N.J. to meet any Fairfield Republicans, though. He came to meet HHH. Eric Colman, 24, was another fan from out-of-state who came to meet HHH.

"Great experience overall," Colman said of meeting HHH. "Very nice gentleman."

Shawn McCoy, a McMahon campaign spokesman, said HHH's appearance was designed to motivate college students and other campaign workers to knock on doors for McMahon this weekend. About a dozen students from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. came to Fairfield for the door-to-door campaigning.

HHH said he came to Fairfield Saturday morning to motivate and thank campaign volunteers. "I'm glad people are getting up and taking that challenge to try to change things," he said.

HHH said there was a flipside to criticism that McMahon was trying to buy an election - he said everybody buys an election and that McMahon would be beholden to no one since she was using her own money. "She will owe no one when she gets in, and she'll be able to make huge changes," he said.

HHH said he'd support McMahon regardless of whether she was his mother-in-law because she knows how to run a business and was fiscally responsible. He added that it was noble of someone to use their own money and time "to get elected to a civil service job, really, that's probably a thankless job, in my opinion."

"She's doing it for my kids. She looks at the state and thinks things are screwed up, looks at the government and thinks things are screwed up, and she's going to spend her time and money to try to fix it. She's making a sacrifice, sacrificing all these things - money, time and personal life - to better the state and country," HHH said.

HHH confirmed his absence from wrestling was due to a torn biceps, though he said he also had been filming two movies for World Wrestling Entertainment, where McMahon formerly worked as CEO. He said he didn't know when he would return to the ring. "I'm kind of taking it day-by-day and rehabbing the injury as best I can," he said...More?
