— Ace Laura covered this below.
Did you watch this? Not only did McMahon ask him the perfect question, but he answered it the perfect way: with baffled bullshit. He had literally no idea now to respond to the question, "How do you create a job?"
This obviously is going to be in commercials.
I think she just won the race.

That's why we've created so many new civil service jobs because they're all in the capital.

Blumenthal said the company is under state investigation and McMahon countered by saying "We've been in Connecticut for 20 years. Funny how we're only being investigated now that I'm running against the current AG." Dick quickly answered "Well, the Dept. of Labor is looking into it" and then dropped the subject.

Blumenthal sounded as if he'd never even considered for a moment how real jobs are created. Linda, wrap this one around his throat, and yank hard.

I'm doing what I can to help such things happen, but I ain't breakin' out the bubbly until after the election, when all the fraudulent votes have been counted.

But - McMahon should have done a lot better last night. Instead, Blumenthal kept her on the defensive over dumb crap like why her company's toys are made in China.
"Because no one would buy them if they cost $30 each!" would have been the perfect comeback.
She should have spent less time defending her company, and more time calling him a liar.
As far as what happens in CT, this is the land of Dodd. I'll vote early, and often. I'll keep my fingers crossed. But I won't hold my breath.

Funny you should mention that, he appears to look like the lesser known villian Spyke Dyke a.k.a prevaricator.

If we thought there was even a slight chance I would not "win" the Senate seat, I would have. (*snicker... "win." Like I actually need to really "win" to get the seat.)

(from mediaite)
WaPoÂ’s Dana Milbank is out this week with a new book on Glenn Beck. An excerpt from it, which has been running on the Huffington Post today, has been making some waves. In it Milbank asserts that much of the time Beck is speaking in coded language to the Mormon population in America.

Oh you can make an attack ad out of that "answer":
Have a professor-looking type standing in front of a chalkboard asking the question to Dicky
Roll the footage of him initially stumbling and bumbling around with his theoretical answer
Then cut back to the professor - "that's right, that's exactly what it says in my textbook!"
Then show Linda McMahon - "what we need is not some more arcane academic theories, what we need are real practical solutions to making jobs in the real world."
(or something like that)

1) Find a willing market. 2) Create value for said market. 3) Repeat until excess capital is big enough to reinvest into the company and expand. 4) Hire employee to handle the additional work created by said expansion.
It's something these stumblefucks on the left can't get their tiny brains around.

No joke, that same quote was going through my head during his response. That, and Brad Whitford's character's spluttering response to the question on business ethics.
Sheesh, looks like the spambots have been busy here. I'd like to create jobs by putting up bounties on spammers.
