FIRST LOOK: American Crossroads today will release a two-minute web ad, “Vote for Me, You Hillbillies,” lampooning actress Ashley Judd, a Democrat who is considering challenging Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) presenting Ashley Judd’s far left views as she considers a run for U.S. Senate in Kentucky. The ad quotes Judd, (and daughter of country star Naomi Judd, calling herself “delightfully radical,” saying she’ll “go wherever [President Obama] wants her to go,” and calling Tennessee “home.” The ad closes: “Ashley Judd — an Obama-following, radical Hollywood liberal, who’s right at home in Tennessee. I mean Kentucky.” Crossroads is spending $10,000 on the ad through online advertising, targeting opinion leaders in Kentucky. YouTube http://bit.ly/WO7XY4
