CT Capitol Report Poll Has Blumenthal Lead Down to 8
A new poll conducted by the Merriman River Group for CT Capitol Report finds that the U.S. Senate race is closer than other recent surveys have suggested.
The poll, released this afternoon, found that 52 percent of voters favor Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal while 44 percent back Republican Linda McMahon.
Though the margin is far closer than a Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday that put Blumenthal's lead at 12 percentage points, McMahon continues to face a considerable uphill battle, Matthew Fitch, executive director of the poll, said...More?

Isn’t the Criticism of Triple H a Little Too Much?
From the Q&A section on pwinsider.com:
"Not to sound like another Hunter conspiracy theorist, but why do I get the feeling with Triple H’s return on the horizon, we’ll soon be seeing Nexus eat 7 Pedigree’s and Sheamus take a seat at the back of the line"
As you mentioned, he put over Sheamus huge not too long ago and correct me if I’m wrong, but he has been putting people over at mania forever. For example, he lost to Taker during the biker run, Batista beat him for the title, he tapped out to Benoit to lose a title, and he tapped out to Cena with the championship on the line. People should give the guy a break.
Years ago or so, it probably wasn't too much. Before HHH married into the McMahon family HHH was your regular top guy with a lot of influence over Vince McMahon and a lot of people no longer with the company swear that he wielded influence strongly. Then when he first married in, a lot of people felt it was just a matter of time until he won the World Title enough times to hold the record. But that was then. This is now. In the interim HHH hasn't done that. He has put over talents. When the company needed it, he reformed DX. I think people need to get out of the past and update their thinking where HHH is concerned.
