Decision 2014: Judd drag?

KENTUCKY: “Actress Ashley Judd’s movement toward a Senate run against Minority Leader Mitch McConnell makes Democrats in Washington, D.C., happy,” Roll Call writes. “But back in Kentucky, for many Bluegrass State Democrats, a potential Judd run brings a different feeling: heartburn.”

A Republican polling firm, Harper, shows Minority Leader Mitch McConnell leading Judd 49%-40% in a hypothetical matchup. (H/T: Politcal Wire.)

NEW JERSEY: Rep. Rob Andrews, who once himself tried to challenge Frank Lautenberg (and lost) defended Cory Booker: “I think he’s tried to be respectful of the senator’s choice, but made it clear he’d like to serve in the Senate and I think that’s very legitimate.”

Plenty of time between now and 2014, if Judd decides to run guarantee she'd over-come McConnell and the right wing ideologues. Kentuckians aren't as ignorant as some think they are. Meanwhile the attack machine has started on a speculation that only tells me the GOP is afraid of Ms. Judd--why, what is there to be afraid of boys, loosing more control and power, which of course equals $$$$.

I doubt that an 'Actress' would be much of a threat to McConnell, but in today's crazy world, I guess anything can happen. Just look at what the 'Actor' in the White House won by pretending to be Presidential.

One vote that Obama should win is the Oscar for 'Best Actor in a Reality Series'.
