Round 2: Linda McMahon to Declare U.S. Senate Candidacy Next Tuesday

By this time next week, Republican Linda McMahon will formally be in the hunt for the U.S. Senate seat of retiring incumbent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut in 2012, reprising a candidacy for the same office undertaken last year by the wealthy matriarch of professional wrestling.

McMahon, 62, is scheduled to announce her entry into the race next Tuesday, multiple sources confirmed to Hearst Connecticut Newspapers.

McMahon's handlers still haven't settled on the venue, though a person familiar with her plans said a manufacturing plant was a leading candidate to host what will be a jobs-oriented speech by the 2010 Republican Senate nominee and Greenwich resident.
