In her first television ad of the campaign, Democratic candidate for governor Wendy Davis goes directly at her opponent, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, attacking him for his role in a 1998 rape case.
The ad entitled, "A Texas Story," heavily criticizes a vote Abbott made when he was on the state Supreme Court involving a case in which a woman was raped by a door-to-door salesman.
The case at the center of Davis' ad involved the 1993 rape of Dena Kristi Read by Mickey Carter, who was employed as a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman by a distributor of The Kirby Co.
The issue was whether the company could be held liable for injuries sustained by Read as a result of the distributor's failure to properly perform a pre-employment background check on Carter. Carter had a record of complaints of sexual misconduct, according to The Associated Press.
The Court ruled 6-3 against Kirby with Abbott writing the dissenting opinion.
In a press release announcing her first television ad, the Davis campaign says it is intended to tell "the truth about who Greg Abbott is fighting for, political and well-connected insiders, at the expense of hardworking Texans."
The release also includes three separate solicitations for donations.
Abbott's campaign was quick to respond to the ad.

I forgot, which Alinsky rule is she following?
lets hope someone asks her to berate hillary clinton for defending a child rapist she knew was guilty...
And these are the same democrats who right this very minute are fighting against criminal back round checks for employment?
There is your counter ad right frickin there....I’d even use her ad as a jump off...
Davis is toast. I am surprised anybody donates money to make an ad for her affordable.
Desperation. She’s going after the whining and nagging Sandy Fluke types.
A Democrat goes negative in a campaign?
Who saw that coming.........
Is it a TV ad or an internet ad?
She got her second husband to pay off her debts and then abandoned him and her children from her first husband. How will she act when she is governor?
I saw it last night while watching local Fox affiliate in Dallas.
Yea, I saw it last night too. It was so poorly done I did not know what the hell it was about until the last 5 seconds where they tried to blame Abbott for the split court case.
Oh the horrors, the horrors.....
I was laughing with my wife when it was over. So stupid it was laugh worthy!
She’s the best they got? Ha ha haa!,,
“I forgot, which Alinsky rule is she following?”
The opening part of alinsky’s book: she is dedicating herself to lucifer.
By the way, “loser” is the root word for “lucifer”.
Interesting that they have to dig so deep to find some sort of “dirt” on Abbott.
We will never have to find out.
11 million newly minted child voters could change all of that before November.
Funny thing... the root for ‘luck’ is ‘luc’... which comes from ‘lucifer’.
I have started sayint good blessings to folks... no luck.
It really helps to either let us know its a sarc/ or keep it real.
