Schiff is in.

U.S. Senate candidate Peter Schiff, a Tea Party favorite known for his gloomy predictions about the U.S. economy, has qualified for the Aug. 10 Republican primary. Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz said today that Schiff gathered enough petition signatures to challenge the endorsed Republican, former wrestling executive Linda McMahon. "We are thrilled to hear the news that our efforts have proved successful," Schiff said in an emailed statement. "Connecticut Republicans now have a alternative: a wrestling promoter or a businessman and economist. Given the state of our economy, I think the choice is clear."Link
