What's going on: Primary winners sell political inexperience

Charles Krupa / The Associated PressRepublican candidate for U.S. Senate Linda McMahon, a former wrestling executive, waves to supporters during her campaign party Tuesday night after winning the Republican primary in Cromwell, Conn.

From The Associated Press:

All hail inexperience - the less familiarity with politics the better, no matter the party or state.

"This election is the first time my name has ever been on a ballot," appointed Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado said Tuesday night, hours after dispatching his rival in a bitter Democratic primary.

Bennet and Connecticut GOP winner Linda McMahon were two of the most distinctive winners on a busy primary night, one an incumbent who proved able to handle the type of primary challenge that has claimed lawmakers elsewhere, the other the epitome of the conservative outsider who will carry the GOP banner into the fall campaign, with control of Congress and 37 governorships at stake.
