Democrats are bringing in some big names to raise money and support for Richard Blumenthal this fall. So who's coming to stump for Republican Linda McMahon?
"We haven't sought any outside endorsements and we have no plans to seek them,'' McMahon spokesman Ed Patru said via email.
If Rob Simmons were the GOP nominee, you could bank on an October visit from Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, maybe even George H.W. Bush (though those establishment pols might not play as well this year.)
Blumenthal has already brought in the president; former President Bill Clinton rolls into town at the end of the month.
But McMahon, a multi-millionaire self-funder, doesn't want or need surrogates to campaign on her behalf.
She was asked by WTNH political reporter Mark Davis if she'd welcome a visit from Sarah Palin. McMahon said she'd enjoy meeting Palin but isn't seeking the endorsement of the former Alaska governor -- or anyone else.
"I'm just going to continue doing what I'm doing,'' McMahon told Davis.
