Judd and her husband, three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti, announced in January that they had decided to end their 11-year marriage.

Judd, 44, considers Kentucky her home state but actually lives in neighboring Tennessee. She would have had to move to Kentucky in order to qualify as a candidate...

Translation: "After meeting with DemonRat election consultants, and listening to focus groups react to my radical femi-nazi views, I realize that I am utterly unelectable, and would become the DemonRat's Todd Akin."

Too bad. I would have loved for her to run.

Also, what "family" is she referring to? Didn't she decide not to "breed"?

He may end up looking like that anyway as it’s now speculated that the current Kentucky Secretary of State, Alison Grimes, may challenge McConnell.
