Despite threats that any opponents will face personal attacks from the vicious Republican smear machine, Actress Ashley Judd is considering a Senate run against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell:
“She is doing all the things that a serious candidate exploring a race should do,” Kentucky Rep. John Yarmuth told Politico after speaking with her. “I think there are a lot of people, and I was one of them, who wanted to let her know that her candidacy would be an exciting prospect for us.”
Without commenting directly on Judd, McConnell’s campaign manager, Jesse Benton, warned the political news site that the Kentucky Republican will not go easy on whoever runs for his seat.
“It’s going to sting,” Benton said. “We’re going to make sure that you don’t come out with your nose clean. We’re going to drive your negatives up and very aggressively and publicly litigate your record before the citizens of Kentucky.”
Take him down, Ashley!
