Not sure. It was joke. When you referenced Alison Lundergan Grimes, it reminded me of the Democrats' first choice to run in the 2014 Kentucky Senate race.

Judd might have been electable in Illinois. In Kentucky the only thing she had going for her was her regular attendance at UK basketball games.

Right, because in 2014, until Grimes decided to run, the vibe was less "Who will run?" as "Will anyone run?" They looked at Judd because there was real concern about being able to field a serious candidate at all, and that they were looking at her - or publicly seen to be looking at her - was seen as a sign of just how concerned they were.
