Back in May, former Congressman Rob Simmons (R-Conn.) suspended his campaign against WWE CEO Linda McMahon, both of whom were vying for the GOP nomination for Chris Dodd's Connecticut Senate seat. But some of the criticism that Simmons hurled in McMahon's directio n lives on today, in the form of a group called "Mothers Against McMahon": A group of Connecticut women say they are leading a grassroots movement against Republican Linda McMahon's bid for a Senate seat because of her ties to pro wrestling. The five women, part of Mothers Opposing McMahon, said Tuesday in West Hartford they are urging other parents and voters to not forget the wealthy business executive's ties as former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment. On its Facebook page, the group describes itself as "a group of mothers & others who want to spread the truth about the explicit violence and degradation of women that is the core of McMahon's WWE enterprise." They include this video clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8HMvjQIz5w&feature=player_embedded http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/14/linda-mcmahon-ct-senate-c_n_646347.html
