Judd probably doesn’t have a ghost of a chance against McConnell’s Republican machine, but she might get enough votes from the metro areas to make a dent in the election. Most Dems in Kentucky are nearly indistinguishable from Republicans — Yarmuth being a notable exception — so another question is whether she could survive a primary. That said, I hope she runs. She’d get people in KY talking about real, substantive issues and maybe put the Mitch Machine in the defensive.
