Poll causes democrats to lose enthusiasm for Ashley Judd KY Senate race...

As a lifetime KY resident, I can tell you Ashley Judd is way to liberal for Kentucky. Also, her crusade against coal would severely damage her in the Eastern part of the state witch is a traditional democratic voter bastion. 

Via The Hill:
A survey conducted for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee of the Kentucky Senate race by one of their leading pollsters may be cause for the DSCC to pull back from supporting Ashley Judd’s potential campaign for Kentucky Senate, according to a recent report.
According to the Louisville Eccentric Observer, after receiving the results of the poll, which The Hill has learned was conducted for the committee by Fred Yang, who formerly worked for Gov. Steve Beshear (D), the DSCC is “reevaluating” their initial “all-in” support for Judd, as it showed Kentucky Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes (D) might be a stronger contender against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)
Judd’s potential challenge to McConnell has picked up steam in recent weeks, as she’s met with donors in Kentucky, the DSCC and, reports indicate, Democratic leaders in Washington.
But Democrats in Kentucky remain skeptical of her candidacy, concerned that she could cost them a winnable race due to her liberal political leanings and connections to Obama, which could be toxic in a state that voted for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney by more than 60 percent in 2012.
