41. Go Ashley! The Turtle is afraid and he ought to be. Not only of Ashley Judd

but of the huge, newly formed Progressive Coalition who has named him as a target on which they will spend lots of money, (having learned from Republicans finally how to do it) to remove. So any Democrat who runs against him this time will not be depending only the Rahm Emanuels who often did not support Liberal candidates, she will have this coalition of dozens of organizations that actually WANT Liberal/Progressives in the Senate and have already gotten off to a great start financially.

I would love to see her beat the Turtle and not only rid the Senate of his horrible influence, but debunk the notion the Democrats can't win in Kentucky.

Meh, that's hardly the same thing. Hissyspit Feb 2013 #57

Meh, I disagree. She only had points to make about the shallowness of celebrity gossip MotherPetrie Feb 2013 #58

No, she made points about society�s objectification of girls and women. Hissyspit Feb 2013 #59
