Actress Ashley Judd's name is being thrown out as a Democratic challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in 2014.
Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) listed her as a possibility.
"If you had an Ashley Judd-McConnell race, I think it would be as high profile a race as Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown," Yarmuth said in an interview with the Courier-Journal of Kentucky, referring to the Massachusetts Senate candidates.
Judd has been active in Democratic politics. She was a delegate at the Democratic National Committee and also taped campaign ads for President Obama.
McConnell has begun gearing up for his reelection bid. He has a war chest of about $7 million and also hired former Ron Paul aide Jesse Benton to run his campaign.
Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, Lt. Gov Jerry Abramson and Obama campaign fundraiser Matthew Barzun, have also been mentioned as possible Democratic challengers to McConnell.

Yeah, I shoulda said Monte Carlo, I think that’s where all the F-1 guys are domiciled.
Did she make that statement before, or after, stripping for nearly every movie she’s ever been in?
If you had posted this on Monday, I would have laughed. But today? Why not. We are a superficial, celebrity driven society. She’ll probably win
She’s educated the same way Obama was, she is still trailer trash and her ego is bigger than her sense and logic. I don’t know about “celebrity status” but those people only listen to the stooges who worship anything “hollywood”. Go away and get a real education not an indoctrination. Silly b*****
She’s a classic case of too much self-esteem & too little talent.
And she wasn't even famous.
Then again, Chelsea Clinton went to Stanford and Oxford.
Uhhh, if that’s a pic of her what movie roles is she going to get? The Return of ET?
“The Whore With More”—could work!!
Her only talent is showing her boobs in B-Movies.
We’d have never even heard of her if she wasn’t a pretty face and willing to take her clothes off for money while being filmed.
When you are a celeb, you can pretty much buy those academic degrees.
She has big mental health issues. Hospitalized for it, if I recall correctly.
She lives in Brentwood, Tennessee. It is tough to run for office in Kentucky when you live in Tennessee.
Well then, she is a shoe-in for the new freak show.
Haha! I agree.
Free lipstick for all pigs.

The couple divide their time between a home in Scotland and their farm outside Franklin, Tennessee, USA. They have no children. In her book she said this is because she considers it "unconscionable to breed."
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.
She would likely collect some votes in Lexington, Louisville, and Bowling Green..college/urban type of settings...but the rest of KY would basically ignore her...
