When we first heard that WWE CEO Linda McMahon had resigned her position so she could run against sad-sack Connecticut senator Christopher Dodd in the 2010 election, we were sure it was just another one of her wrestling league's story lines.

(And that it would probably end with Hacksaw Jim Duggan busting into a staged press conference and whacking Wolf Blitzer with a 2-by-4.)

Then we remembered, oh dear, Jesse Ventura. So does McMahon actually stand a chance? Dodd is as vulnerable as any senator; however she would first have to come out of a Republican primary that already features reputable candidates who have never kicked a man in the groin during a televised event.

But could McMahon's feistiness be an asset? We explored video evidence from the ring to find out.

In this clip, McMahon may be smacking a ho, but she is also displaying the kind of crazy eyes and steely resolve that might actually get things done in the Senate.



And here she proves she can take a piledriver. Linda won't pout when one of her bills gets held up in committee.



In short, we are endorsing Linda McMahon for the United States Senate. If nothing else, we think Senator McMahon will be able to produce much more entertaining blog posts than some dude named Rob Simmons.
