Aww. Better yet: McConnell gets to nuke a Dem star.

So was the field cleared for Alison Lundergan Grimes?

Well, at least the Dems will now waste money there.

McConnell wanted to run against Judd, but even his own polling showed him up only single digit against her. You can only imagine what the other matchups looked like that he did not release.

Do not underestimate Grimes, especially since McConnell has such terrible approvals.

Judd might have been a great senator, but as long as the Democrats pick a candidate with no real negatives, I'll be looking forward to this election.

Local sources are saying that Grimes has spoken with the DSCC and plans to file for an exploratory committee.

It's probably for the best. If McConnell is vulnerable as the polls have suggested, we're better off running someone with chance to see it through.

Thank goodness!  We still probably won't pick up the seat, but maybe there's a shot.

Imagine if Steve King said he wasn't running for Senate tomorrow, while Tom Latham was looking into a run.


If I were Grimes, first thing I'd do is blast a so-called fiscal conservative for wasting millions of dollars on ads against an actress who isn't even running.

Because she is the worst candidate possible for Kentucky. Greatness explained it better than I could (although Braley isn't half as strong as Mitch is as a candidate), but yeah.

Because she was a terrible candidate.

It would have allowed McConnell to run against celebrity culture and "Hollyweird". McConnell has never been particularly popular, and could lose to the right candidate, even in a neutral year. He had a close call in 2008.

Presumably this is the real reason Judd isn't running.

Judd should still run for the Memphis district. She could definitely win there.

Also, I kind of wish they kept the guessing game a bit sooner -- it'd have been great to do a switch-a-roo with Grimes at the last possible second to throw McConnell on edge.
