Ashley Judd Mocked in GOP Ad, Mitch McConnell [VIDEO]: Actress Slammed in Aggressive Preemptive GOP Strike Against Kentucky Senate Run

Ashley Judd might be putting her acting career aside to focus on running against Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell to become the next Kentucky Senator in 2014. Falling behind in the polls, McConnell has already launched a brutal ad campaign slamming the Hollywood starlet in a preemptive strike to keep his position. The strangest thing about this campaign is that Judd has yet to officially announce her campaign, meaning McConnell is just attacking a citizen in his advertisement.

The ad in question opens with a brief and fake trailer listing production information. The "client" is listed as "Ashley Judd, really?", the "title" is "Vote for me, you hillbillies," and the "date" is posted as, "Whenever Obama tells her to run." Clearly we get the message from the start. This "anti-Ashley" ad continues into somewhat of a a campaign commercial in favor of the Liberal, Judd, but becomes very apparent that the nature of the video is sarcastic. Generic "American" imagery fills the screen and shows a tree with fliers hanging from the branches. Each one comes to life with clips of Ashley Judd speaking after the commercial voice-over smugly introduces the next attack of the actress. That is basically the whole thing.

Some of the key issues addressed by this campaign against not-quite-yet Senate hopeful Judd, are as follows:

•  She loves Barack Obama
•  She is a follower, not a leader
•  Her quote, "Tennessee is Home"
•  Much more Obama stuff
•  "Hillbillies" and "Radical"
•  Repeat everything about 5 more times

The haughty narrator concludes the commercial with a line it sounds like he was DYING to say his whole life:

"Ashley Judd, an Obama-following, radical Hollywood liberal, who's right home here in Tennessee. I mean Kentucky."

This advertisement is not exactly a homerun, but the message is very deliberate.

 Again, Ashley Judd has yet to officially throw her hat into the Kentucky Senate seat race. No campaign organizations have been set up and no talk on how her liberal stances will affect her race in a Republican state. She has commented on her interest in running and has expressed her gratitude for even being mentioned as a possible candidate, but no concrete statements yet. But it seems that Mitch McConnell refuses to leave anything to chance. A survey from Public Policy Polling revealed Judd to be McConnell's strongest potential challenger in December. Judd trailed the Senate Minority leader by only 4 points. McConnell has been dropping in other polls due to his national duties taking precedence over his state concerns. Judd, who just recently separated from her husband, Dario Franchitti, is looking at an uphill battle after the release of this ad. That is, if she decides to run.
