With the 2012 election not far away in the rear-view mirror, Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., is already looking forward to what he believes will be the next "premier race in the country": Ashley Judd versus Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
"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 told the Louisville Courier-Journal, predicting campaign money for the actress and Kentucky native would "pour in as soon as she entered the race."
Rumors that Judd is mulling a bid to unseat McConnell, the longest-serving senator in the state's history, sprouted Wednesday night. While she served as a Kentucky delegate at September's Democratic National Convention and has implied interest in seeking political office, Judd suggested in a statement she's not ready to jump into the 2014 political fray just yet.
