The Atlantic has an article up talking about how the death of recent wrestlers is haunting the McMahon campaign. It also notes that Linda is trailing Democrat Richard Blumenthal but has been closing the gap “because of her charisma (and ability, for the most part, to avoid the steroid/wrestling controversy)” and because Blumenthal is not a good campaigner.

The New York Times has a story on the media coverage of wrestlers deaths that you can read at http://www.nytimes.com/
