Beshear Won’t Challenge McConnell
{Frankfort,
Kentucky}…During a Capitol press conference, Governor Steve Beshear announced
Wednesday he has ruled himself out as a potential challenger to Republican U.S.
Senator Mitch McConnell in 2014. Actress Ashley Judd hasn't ruled herself out
as a potential challenger but neither has she said anything to suggest that she
would enter the race. Although Beshear was complimentary of Judd on Wednesday, he
said he has no inside information about whether she will decide to run. Beshear
is the latest of several top tier Democrats who have said they won't challenge
McConnell. That list includes Attorney General Jack Conway and former state
Auditor Crit Luallen. With the election still nearly two years away, McConnell
has banked more than $6.8 million. He spent some $20 million on his last
election to defeat wealthy Louisville
businessman Bruce Lunsford by 6 percentage points.
