Possible McConnell challenger Ashley Judd breaking up with Dario

CNN reports: "Actress Ashley Judd and champion race car driver Dario Franchitti are ending their marriage after more than 11 years...Shortly after the news broke, Judd tweeted that the pair will remain "family forever" despite the divorce."

When they were married they lived near Nashville, Tenn. Now that Judd may run against Mitch McConnell, Judd will have to hit I-65 soon. I guess Dario didn't want to live in Kentucky? I'm just speculating why Judd would divorce the year before she might be a US senate candidate. Or more realistically they had personal issues and Judd wanted to get over them before her political campaign. In fact according to wikipedia "In February 2006, Judd entered a program at Shades of Hope Treatment Center in Buffalo Gap, Texas and stayed for 47 days.[20] She was there because of personal issues, including depression, insomnia and codependency.[21]" That could be a sign of trouble between them but that's it as far as I could see.

He's younger than she is, maybe he had a roving eye. Or maybe they just got sick of one another.

It happens.
