Ashley Judd, future senator?
By Max Zimbert
Ashley Judd, an actress and philanthropist (AIDS prevention, reproductive health), would not rule out a future campaign against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Friday.
The Louisville Courier-Journal reported Judd is eying McConnell's Senate seat, which is up for grabs in 2014. Judd campaigned for President Barack Obama in 2012 and, in 2008, she appeared in an environmental ad campaign for the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, in which she was critical of Sarah Palin's position on wildlife protection in Alaska.
College basketball fans will also recognize Judd, who has starred in films including "Double Jeopardy" and "Kiss the Girls," as a ubiquitous presence at men's basketball games at her alma mater, the University of Kentucky.
