U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon is running on the Republican and Independent lines, and she and her husband have donated $150,000 to a pro-Romney super PAC<\/a>. But earlier this week, a doorhanger apparently paid for by her campaign<\/a> urged citizens in Connecticut, “Vote Barack Obama For President and Vote Linda McMahon For U.S. Senate.”<\/p>\n

Today, her campaign is reportedly taking it one step further by distributing this sample ballot:<\/p>\n

Politico reporter Kate Nocera was unable to confirm where the sample ballots are being distributed.<\/p>\n\n\n

@darylherbert<\/a> I’m not sure where they are passing them out. At the bottom it says “paid for by Linda for Senate”<\/p>\n
