Judd, 44, supported President Obama’s re-election bid last year and would provide a more liberal alternative for Kentucky voters to the conservative McConnell. She would also draw national attention to the race.
She wouldn’t be the first actor to get into politics, of course. Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger immediately come to mind.
Although the vast majority of our readers wouldn’t be casting ballots in the race, we’re still curious about what you think. Could Judd unseat McConnell? Or would she be trounced in red-state Kentucky? Drop me a line at mwilliams@coxohio.com.
