The Senate race of Linda McMahon and Chris Murphy seems to be a back and forth fight in the financial histories of each candidate. Linda McMahon filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying off her debts and is now a millionaire who refuses to pay back her creditors. Chris Murphy was sued by banks for missing multiple mortgage and rent payment, but charges were immediately dropped when Murphy payed off the debt. However, this campaign seems to focus on one aspect as Ben Marter, campaign spokesman, said, "Chris' record is fighting for Connecticut jobs. McMahon's record is shipping them overseas." I agree with Marter, this aspect of the campaign is significant especially with the economy troubles the country is in today. Shipping jobs overseas only adds to the Recession we are in today. Just with this McMahon doesn't seem like she cares about getting America back on its feet. Getting America back on track isn't only the president's job, but also builds of the efforts from each state no matter how small they are. 

Questions:
After reading the ctmirror article, who's financial mistake do you think was worse? (even though it doesn't state much about McMahon's bankruptcy)
Who would you vote for in the upcoming elections as of right now?
