It Begins. McMahon Starts Barrage on Shays Record.

Republican Senate hopeful Linda McMahon has commenced fire on rival Christopher Shays. Rather than drawing attention to contrasts, McMahon points out in a Maundy Thursday email that Shays shares a similar record with Democratic frontrunner U.S. Representative Christopher Murphy.

The stinging declaration will have Shays bleating and whining in high pitched tones. Unlike Shays, McMahon is no conscientious objector when summoned to battle.

More to follow on the opening day of full engagement.

You can see the release comparing the two Christophers here. We’ll probably be seeing more of this as the Republican nominating convention in May grows near. Team McMahon does know how to find another candidate’s weak spots and exploit them.
