Ashley Judd has NOT yet decided if she will run or not - HP updated their article

The UPDATED Huffington Post article ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Ashley Judd, the 44-year-old actress and social activist, has told key advisers and political figures that she is planning to announce her candidacy for U.S. Senate here this spring.

Judd told one close ally that she plans to announce her run for the Democratic nomination for the 2014 race “around Derby” -- meaning in early May when the Kentucky Derby brings national attention to Louisville and the Bluegrass State.

Reached for comment by email Saturday, Judd offered a not-quite-ironclad denial to The Huffington Post. “I am not sure who is saying this stuff, but it is not I! I’d prefer as a fan of your journalism that you stay accurate and credible. We told everyone who called us yesterday these stories are fabrications.”

Judd has told potential supporters that she will make a decision on running sometime before the Kentucky Derby on May 4.

She has NOT yet made a decision.
Sounds like to me that some folks are misinterpreting what she has said.
Announcing a 'decision' is not the same thing as announcing her 'candidacy'.

I think she'll run and she will win.

Keep in mind, Mississippi voters shot down the "personhood" ballot measure. All the polls showed it winning, but when those "conservatives" got in the ballot booth, they voted it down.

I think she just might pull it off. It sure would be wild if she did!
