Wendy v. The Wheelchair

[Mr. Deez]

Well, if you take the word of an Austin lobbyist and insider, Wendy Davis will run for Governor. Link.

Frankly, I think this is a smart move for her. She was barely reelected to her Senate seat in a district Romney carried by 8 points, which means she had significant GOP crossover support. By digging in on a hard line pro-abortion stance, it's doubtful that she'd hold that support in an off-year election (2014). In other words, she's done in the Senate, and if she ran for reelection to the Senate and lost, that would spell the end of her political career.

By running for Governor, she's going to draw tons of national media attention and motivate the hardcore Left. She's still going to lose, but she'll become a big national Democratic darling for "fighting the good fight." Accordingly, she could get appointed to something by Obama, or at a minimum, she could become an "analyst" or even get her own show on MSNBC. Either way, it's better than just getting kicked out of the Senate and never being heard from again.

100% true on your analysis of her situation. It's now or never for her to make a more national name for herself. Politically, she has played a very weak hand about as perfectly as possible over the last few months.

Obviously she has no chance of winning a statewide election, but I hope she is able to point out what a cripplecrit her opponent is. Although his IQ is miles above goodhair's, he is a part of the corrupt republican establishment that gives zero shits about their devout voters. This guy is everything that conservatives hate about politicians, but they will all line up to vote for him because he has an R next to his name and he is running against abortion Barbie.

They said the same thing about Cruz and Dewhurst, look what happened. People said that Dewhurst would win because he had an R next to his name, well Cruz had a R and TP next to his.......

The Traditional Republican in Texas that you discussed can be defeated, maybe not by a Democrat but they can be defeated.

Wendy Davis, the teen mom with an illegitimate child, is a one issue woman.

If she runs for governor, she will lose. She'll get outspent, made fun of, and torn down over the abortion stuff.
The TP loves that abortion stuff.

sorry, Larry discussed.....
