Ashley Judd for Senate: Could she win?

It’s true: Kentucky Democrats are talking up actress/activist Ashley Judd as a possible candidate for Senate in 2014. Ms. Judd, an eighth-generation Kentuckian, was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention this summer and is a big fan of President Obama, so it’s not like this is a completely wacky idea. So far, Judd isn’t saying “yes” to a run, but she isn’t saying “no,” either.

It is true that Ms. Judd has become quite active in politics as well as in other issues.

But does this qualify her to be a senator?

She seems to have as much qualification as the last Senator Kentucky elected, except that her dad wasn't a US Representative. And since I thought we did away with hereditary titles when we declared independence, I think that puts her dead even.

McConnell is pretty much the definition of waste of flesh so anyone should be considered qualified to run against him.

FR,

What qualifications are necessary to be a representative of the people?

If Bachman(who is about as smart as a bag of hammers) can serve in Congress, Judd can serve in the Senate.

Plus, if I'm not mistaken, Ms Judd is at least legally sane. That's GOT to pack some weight in Washington these days.

What are the qualifications to being senator?

IMO, we have far too many lawyers in government.

Look at the resume of the current occupant of the White House. What would make you think "qualifications," mean jack shit?

One would hope...of course considering who the electorate has sent to Congress recently,being sane just might be an impediment to getting elected.

Must burn your socks that he beat out another guy that was so unqualified for the position, as to lie 533 times in 30 weeks leading up to the election.

Lets look up all the things the President has done so far....
