Greg Abbott Leads the Way as the Republicans Crush Wendy Davis and the Democrats in Texas

Battleground Texas rode into the Lone Star State promising to make the state more competitive for Democrats.

They have failed. Not only that, the Texas Democrats might have been better off if the president’s personal political support group had never shown up in Texas.

Their brightest star, governor nominee Wendy Davis, flamed out. Despite the backing of President Obama, the media, Hollywood and rich liberal trial lawyers (or perhaps because of all of that), Davis underperformed the Democrats’ showing in 2010. Bill White lost to Gov. Rick Perry 54-42 four years ago. Wendy Davis is set to lose 58-31. Or maybe 57-32.

Read that again. The Democrats lost ground compared to where they were four years ago, and where they were four years ago in Texas was not a good place at all. They couldn’t win a thing statewide. They couldn’t even make it close.

I've always admired Texas politics and Texans in general.

Good on you Texas!

Wendy was a horrible candidate, and a loathsome idiot as a human. Sorry Wendy, you need to take stock.

Even Sandy Fluke was smart enough to know she needed to move to California before running for office.

Besides the general stupidity of Wendy Davis, and of nominating her, there were other factors which *may* have cranked up Pubbie turnout and alienated the Great Middle.

I think that is a typo. She will be near 40-42. She'll lose by 14-16%
