Creo Que Hell Yes.
Wendy Davis is moving up faster than a bullet with legs.
Take a lookie right here.
In a head-to-head race, Abbott got 40 percent of registered voters to Davis’ 34 percent, with 25 percent of the voters undecided. In a three-way general election, he would get 40 percent, Davis would get 35 percent and Libertarian Kathie Glass would get 5 percent.
Do you wanna know when was the last time a Democrat in Texas started within single digits? I don’t know either so it had to be while the earth was cooling.
So, can Wendy Davis win? Does Howdy Doody have wooden toes?
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

1As I recall, there has to be a run-off if two candidates come in on election day within certain points of each other. Could this happen here? And, damn, I am still waiting for my new plastic to arrive by mail! If it were in my hot little hand right now I could boost her bottom line a tiddly bit!
2Don’t worry, Maggie; she’ll need your plastic whenever it comes!
3Lots of love and good karma comin’ in from PA.
4I wish I lived in Texas long enough to vote for Wendy. No matter how BAD she is she will be better then the twit there now.
5It wasn’t so long ago that Dems won in Texas. John Connally started that shift when he switched to the GOP after LBJ got the Civil Rights Act passed, and the entire south changed from D to R. LBJ said the Dems had lost the south for a generation, and he was far too optimistic in that view. It will take a couple more, IMO. But certainly Texas has been almost entirely Democratic in my memory, with the Reps having almost no statewide officeholders. The main reason, though, was that the Democratic party was so conservative the Republicans had no chance to even get started. But the pendulum does swing, albeit slowly.
