Linda E. McMahon, the former chief executive of World Wrestling Entertainment, is seeking the Republican nomination for US Senate from CT.
She describes herself as a fiscal conservative concerned about runaway spending in Washington and the growing budget deficit. As someone who ran a global enterprise, she said she has the kind of real-life experience that Washington needs.
She founded W.W. E., formerly the World Wrestling Federation, more than 25 years ago with her husband, Vincent K. McMahon, the company's flamboyant chairman.
But rather than celebrating the arrival of Ms. McMahon, a well-financed Greenwich businesswoman who, with her husband, is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, some Republicans are squirming over the emergence of a political novice from a world known for down-market programming featuring leotards and outrageous stunts.
In an interview, Ms. McMahon acknowledged that there had been "excesses" in World Wrestling Entertainment's productions. But she says the organization's programs now carry the PG rating, alerting parents that their guidance is suggested.
She seemed to dismiss concerns that her ties to the business would undercut her candidacy. "Did anyone in Sacramento expect Arnold Schwarzenegger to show up in a Terminator outfit?" she said. "It borders on silliness."
And yet Ms. McMahon seems a bit chagrined by her past appearances in the ring, where she, her husband, daughter and son-in-law played themselves in made-up melodramas.
In one appearance, she emerged from an apparent coma and kicked her cheating husband in the groin. In a showdown with her daughter, she went flying to the mat after her daughter smacked her in the face. And, after a black-booted bald man hoisted her feet-first in the air, she fell on her back, bouncing slightly in her business suit before splaying helplessly on the ground.
Ms. McMahon was not as frequent a performer as her husband, daughter and son-in-law, a wrestler known by his ring name Triple H.
Few doubt that Ms. McMahon is a potentially formidable candidate. The North Carolina native, born on Oct. 4, 1948, graduated from East Carolina University with a bachelor's of science degree in French. She is friendly with Gov. M. Jodi Rell, who named her in 2009 to the State Board of Education. She has also been active in charitable and cultural organizations, including the Connecticut Grand Opera and Orchestra and the Governor's Council for the World Special Olympics, the Make-a-Wish Foundation and Sacred Heart University in Fairfield.
But she has quickly become a big target, with videos of her W.W.E. appearances rocketing around the Internet, and her rivals digging up damaging information about her, including her failure to vote in past elections.

When they saw a not very funny comedian/pornographer elected to the Senate as a Dem in Minnesota they just want to get into the act. Plus they will get better health care coverage than the rest of us if Obamacare gets enacted.
