From Talking Points Memo:
Connecticut Republican Senate nominee Linda McMahon has been telling voters lately that it’s okay to vote for President Obama as well as her. Now she’s taking it a step further — and getting about as far away from her own party’s nominee for president as she can — and actually urging voters to cast their ballots for Obama as well as in the final days of the campaign.
McMahon campaign doorhangers that Democrats say they’ve discovered in minority neighborhoods this weekend couldn’t make it more clear: “Vote Barack Obama For President and Vote Linda McMahon For Senate,” they read. It’s a surprising suggestion from a Republican who, along with her husband, has given $150,000 to help make Romney the next president of the United States.

Here’s the picture that was in the article:
Were I Chris Murphy, I think overall I’d take great comfort from this episode. Like Romney’s current attempt to make an issue of Obama’s revenge remark, this smacks of a campaign having nothing to lose, because it knows it is losing.
You have to hand it to Linda, though. Yesterday I would have said that Romney is the most unprincipled person to ever run for higher office in this country, at least in this century. Now, I’m not so sure.
