Connecticut GOP Senate candidate Linda McMahon's investment of over $45 million of her own money into the race wasn't enough to boost her over state attorney general Richard Blumenthal.
NBC News projects Blumenthal, the Democrat, the winner of the Connecticut race to replace retiring Democrat Sen. Chris Dodd.
The race received hefty national attention as Blumenthal faced criticism for embellishing his military record and McMahon was slammed by critics for her tenure as the CEO of wrestling empire WWE.
Blumenthal invested $2.3 million of his own funds into the expensive race.

Subject: y did u make call on connecticut b4 the end of the extended poll closing
i noticed that u called the connecticut results at the normal scheduled poll closing time, but since u said u would not all a race b4 all the polls close n that state, the connecuticut 4th had it's closing time extended because of running out of ballots. i would have thought u would have been aware of this and adjusted accordingly.
