Report: Leading Democrat Will NOT Run Against Mitch McConnell

UPDATE BELOW, UPDATE II

I love being able to say I told you so.

Page One Kentucky:

Crit’s definitely out. That’s what we hear. We’re just waiting on her announcement.

Media Czech at BlueGrassRoots notes the departure of two close aides has more than one possible explanation:
So what does this mean, if true? Well, in my opinion, this means one of two things.

1.) She has decided not to run for Senate next year.

2.) She has decided to run, and D.C. is planning on bringing in some big name insiders to run the campaign.

Both bloggers believe an announcement from Crit is imminent.

UPDATE, 5:30 a.m., Dec. 7: Looks like Andrew Horne is going to be the Mitch Killer.

UPDATE II, 11:15 a.m., Dec. 7: Crit Luallen oficially bows out of Senate race.
