Actress Ashley Judd and Indy Car driver Dario Franchitti are ending their marriage after 11 years, and, yes, the news impacts Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Judd is weighing whether to jump into politics and challenge McConnell in Kentucky in 2014. She was in Washington for the inauguration and attended an event at EMILY's List, the group that backs pro-choice Democratic women running for governor or Congress. Judd even carpooled with Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, who demonstrated she knows how to win in a red state after defeating the self-injurious Todd Akin.

She's a flake. And that's putting it nicely. The list of co worker in Hollywood and Broadway who can't stand is lengthy. I hope the citizens of Kentucky aren't blind to the obvious.
n February 2006, Judd entered a program at Shades of Hope Treatment Center in Buffalo Gap, Texas and stayed for 47 days. She was there because of personal issues, including depression, insomnia and codependency.

And remember this? Taken from a prior Freerepublic post:
Look at the map: Not only does Obama not know how many states there are, he also doesnt know where they are. During the 2008 primary campaign, he explained why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky: Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So its not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle. Obamas home state of Illinois, and not Arkansas, shares a border with Kentucky.

I think ashley Judd is one of the cutest female actresses around.
But I wouldn’t have voted for Marilyn Monroe either.

of course; Sen. Mitch "Marble-Mouthed/Go Along to Get Along" McConnell (RINO-GOP/e)
isn't doing him any good by his continued adherent to the Socialist establishment.

McConnell needs to go... HOWEVER, I doubt that most Kentuckians are interested in replacing him with Judd,
She has some popularity, but most of the members of the "good ol' boys" club are NOT interested in anyone other than another one of the "good ol' boys" as a replacement for the ineffective McConnell.
My comment is based on knowing and having several friends who reside in Kentucky.

Change is to was. You haven’t seen a recent photo. Perpetual anger and hate tends to affect appearance.

Excuse me, this is symptomatic of the group think that occurs here on FR. You don't even stop to think about what you're saying, you're so eager to get the approval of others.
Are you REALLY saying you prefer a Democrat to McConnell?
To: Conservativegreatgrandma
We tried that in Indiana and wound up with a 97% Baraqqi (Donnelly) in place of an 80% Republican (Lugar) for the next 6 years. It’s a bad tradeoff.

Exactly, but it looks like too many on FR do not recognize that fact. They stupidly believe it's more important to purge the "RINOS", even if it means electing Democrats.
I was one of the early posters on FR and it was back before all this group think where we can't think for ourselves. Maybe we had group think but we were all trying to defeat Democrats. Something went wrong. I do not enjoy FR nearly as much as years ago.

“You don’t even stop to think about what you’re saying, you’re so eager to get the approval of others.

I don’t comment on here to get approval. In fact I’m frequently derided.
I would PREFER that McConnell be defeated in a primary, or see the writing on the wall and retire. But since no republican will ever run against or challenge the leadership, then the leadership must be removed, by either a democrat or a republican.
Both McConnell and Cornyn need to go next year so the republicans in the senate will have new leadership. The go along, get along, gentlemen’s handshake, my good buddy Senator Reid crap needs to go. And that will only happen with McConnell’s removal. He’s served long enough and not at all well, the “r” next to his name notwithstanding.
To: cotton1706
So you do prefer a Democrat to McConnell—this is insanity,
