FRANKFORT, KY (WAVE) - Kentucky native Ashley Judd says she is taking a close look at running against Republican Senator Mitch McConnell in 2014.

Judd, a Hollywood actress, is in Washington D.C. for President Barack Obama's inauguration.

Saturday night, on her way to the Kentucky Society of Washington's Bluegrass Ball she told reporters, "The people of Kentucky need a fighter."

Judd would not say whether she has decided to mount a campaign.

She has been mentioned as a potential Democratic challenger to McConnell, who is the Senate Minority leader.

McConnell did not attend the Bluegrass Ball.

Ashley, you are married to a hot race car driver. Just stay home and make him happy.

Excuse me, Ms. Judd. You don’t have enough experience. All you’ve ever done is make movies in Hollywood, darling. It’s not enough.

Her best talent is taking off her clothes for money.

There’s a word for women like that...

She’s at least as intelligent as Pelosi, so she’s a perfect Democrat.

GOP will need to primary out, or force retirement, of Mitch McConnell. That invertibrate will not beat Ashley Judd.

All Ashley has to do is show off her UK Wildcat Hockey calendar from a few years ago...attend games at Rupp and Commonwealth...and its over. She is a liberal but well liked around UK and the state.

God willing, we all grow old. Still, I’m dumbstruck at how Ashley and Wynona could possibly share DNA.


Different fathers. Obviously Ashley’s father had better genetic makeup

And yet she would instantly be awarded more respect by the public and MSM that Sarah Palin has ever had.

Of course she will, because she believes all the things the MSM believes. Doesn't matter that she's never held public office.

It would be bad enough if McConnell is the republican nominee in 2014. Dem. Gov. Beshear would probably advise Ms. Judd to just keep going to Wildcats basketball games and leave the politicking and a run for the U.S Senate to him.
