The Blumenthal for Senate campaign appears to be bracing for an attack from Republican Linda McMahon.
The campaign issued a peculiar memo tonight responding to a potential volley from "McMahon's attack machine."
Apparently, a person shadowing Blumenthal at the Columbus Day parade in New Haven today asked if he knew the state's unemployment rate. The person lobbying the question was walking with the McMahon campaign's tracker, so perhaps the aim was to get video of Blumenthal caught off guard.
"Blumenthal knew it was someone with McMahon's tracker asking the question and up to no good. So, he brushed him off,'' according to a memo sent to reporters by Blumenthal campaign manager Mindy Myers.
"Nonetheless, we expect McMahon's attack machine, desperate for ammo, will fire this out. Don't say we didn't warn you. With three weeks to go till the Election, we fully expect more desperate politics as usual from the McMahon campaign."
