Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Chris Murphy is bringing three women Senators to Connecticut next week.
Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana will join Murphy for an event in Bushnell Park. Also expected is Cecile Richard, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund (and the daughter of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards) and Nancy Wyman, Connecticut’s Lt. Governor.
The gathering, which will be held at the Pumphouse in the park at noon on Tuesday, is one of several events planned by the Murphy campaign to keep the focus on women’s issues next week. He will also participate in a “conversation” on women’s health issues at Yale University Monday night. He’ll be joined at that event by Richards and Sen. Richard Blumenthal.
A similar “conversation” will be held Tuesday after the rally at the University of Connecticut 
branch in Stamford. He’ll be joined at that event by Blumenthal and Mikulski.
Murphy’s Republican opponent, Linda McMahon, brought two Republican Senators — Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — to the state last month.

More of the sexist “War against Men” crowd?
Why the divisive politics? What ever happened to gender-free and equality?
will they be cheerleading him holding signs? catcalls? or just sitting back and hissing when talking about Linda?
Mikulski is a rank and file democrat, sticking to party-line politics. Like Chris, she has a habit of missing votes (5%, which is worse than the median of 2.5%).
And her state borders D.C.
Talk about a celebration in mediocrity….3 female senators to whoop up the crowd for Chris….well at least there’ll be 4 people at the ralley…too bad all issues won’t be discussed…but maybe these 3 females are not capable of discussing anything outside what The View covers every day…..
Linda McMahon is a funny lady. I imagine her playing that old Operation game where you try to remove organs from the guy and it sounds a buzzer. Linda is like a rookie politician, no experience whatsoever. Every time she tries… BUZZZZ! Would you hire a surgeon with no experience?

you mean like Murphy’s experience creating jobs? That kind of experience? Your subjectivity is stunning
