The Reasons Ashley Judd Can Not Win in Kentucky...

7. Guilty as charged...

I was an Edwards supporter...doh! and remember a conversation with a good friend in early 07' about (now) President Obama. We both agreed we liked his agenda and his political skills, but I was adamant that America would not elect a black man at this point in history. When Edwards (thankfully) bailed I called the local Obama office to volunteer. I arrived for my first phone banking shift and the guy in charge asked me why I was there, I talked about my two young children and their future, and that I was old enough remember a time when corporations didn't control every aspect of our lives, when A man could get a decent job and pay the bills and raise a family on one income. He tore up the phone script right there and told me to just speak from the heart to the voters I would be calling..... I was FLOORED that this guy I'd never met was gonna "put the campaign in my hands". I knew right then and there they were playing a different game than others I'd worked on, and within a few weeks I had no doubt we could win. I'm not exaggerating when I say that campaign restored my faith in the possibilities and potential for making this once great nation a place for everybody, not just the wealthy. YES WE CAN!
