Gov. Steve Beshear said Tuesday he has now talked with actress Ashley Judd about how “seriously” she’s considering running for U.S. Senate in 2014 against Republican U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell.

While Beshear would not go into detail on the conversation, he did say that he is convinced that Judd is “seriously considering a race for United States Senate in the Democratic primary.”

Beshear told reporters Tuesday at a bill signing that he thinks Judd could be an “effective and formidable opponent” against McConnell in a general election. Beshear has a good idea of what that takes having lost by double-digit points to McConnell in 1996.

Beshear said it is still early in the decision making process, but said a number of other Democrats are thinking about running. Here’s the raw video of what he said:

We have a wacko like her whom voters from Wisconsin just sent to the senate. Sooner rather than later we will be hearing from that screwball we just put into office for the next 6 years. Her opponent was Tommy Thompson

Tommy took advice from Rove and his bunch of amatures and the embodyment of the Peter Principles. Part of Tommy’s problem was some felt “he wasn’t conservative enough” this is after he won the primary. Locally I pushed for someone else although I supported him years earlier for governor and he was a good one.

When the choice became between Thompson and the dyke there was no question. Thompson signs went up big time

If that’s the choice Kentuckians are going to have between McConnell and Judd while I share Levin’s evaluation of McConnell I urge Ketuckians don’t stay home. But donate to candidates for the senate who are conservative and if they become the majority would remove McConnell from that leadership position.

I have friends in Kentucky and I don't think she would garner the support outsiders believe she'd get.

She may be a former Kentuckian but she's far to LIBERAL for most Kentucky voters.

Kentucky voter here. McConnell is not as popular in Kentucky as he once was. He is weak on border/amnesty issues, fairly strong on 2nd Ammendment issues. I would prefer a tea party gop’r, but McConnell is the safe bet to beat Judd......but only by a small margin. She would probably beat a Tea Party backed candidate. I don’t like that, but that’s what I suspect is the situation.
