Linda McMahon’s Loss, Data from Voters, More

- When reporting the election results Tuesday night, the UK's BBC referred to Linda McMahon's exploits in the "boxing ring" and called her the former CEO of World Championship Wrestling.

- As noted before, Democrat Richard Blumenthal beat Republican Linda McMahon in the Connecticut Senate race. Blumenthal was at 54% of the vote and 557,376 votes while Linda had 44% of the vote and 453,089 votes. The two Independent candidates each finished with 1% of the vote.

- Based on exit-poll data, Connecticut voters felt 40% to 11% that Linda McMahon's relationship with WWE made them less likely to vote for her. Almost 70% of voters said they believe she "unfairly attacked" her opponent Richard Blumenthal.

Male voters supported Blumenthal 52% to 45% while female voters also supported Blumenthal, 60% to 39%. Linda won with white male voters, 50% to 48%. Blumenthal won with white female voters, 56% to 43%.

The only age demographic that Linda won with was voters over the age of 65 years old, with 52% to 46%. Linda failed to reach the younger and middle-aged voters.

I kinda thought she would lose this time. I am sure she will shoot for another office and run for Senate again in years to come.

I don't think she can run for Senate the next go around. I read somewhere that the losing candidate must wait one term before being eligible to run again.

She can't run for the US Senate for 6 years.

Ah, that's it. Thanks.

She can run at the State level, but not the federal level.
