Texas State Senator Wendy Davis was steamrolled in her bid to become the state's next governor, and it appears that her staff believes Ebola has something to do with the failure of her campaign.
Speaking on behalf of Davis' campaign, Communications Director Zac Petkanas told the Wall Street Journal, "The losses that you are seeing in very blue states are simply amplified in states like Texas where there is already a structural advantage for Republicans," he said. The Journal added that, "Another challenge, [Petkanas] said, was that Texas was at the center of two issues immigration and the Ebola scare that helped drive Republican voters to the polls."
Many Americans do remain concerned about Ebola entering the country from heavily-afflicted nations in West Africa. However, most analysts attribute Davis' loss to a poorly-run campaign and inability to connect with Texas voters....

She right in part
No doubt Obama’s appointing someone with no medical experience as his Ebola Czar and the Democrats & media claiming people who were afraid of Ebola were just being hysterical did hurt Democrats nation wide.
However, she’s an idiot and would have lost anyhow

The Republican rout in Texas was totally amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Maybe she shoulda pretended that she was a Republican again as she did when she first entered politics.

It could not POSSIBLY be that the voters are dissatisfied by political issues.
It must be something else.
After all how could the stupid, unwashed masses understand what's important. /s

“it was that darned old Capitalist Ebola...”
Yeah, even in Chicago this would have been a problem. Even the deceased demonrat voter base would have stayed in their graves and not made it to the polls.
That Ebola’s some scary sh*t.

I guess it never occurred to her that she lost because most Texas voters thought she was full of sh@t.

0bola was part of the problem. Being an air-headed Wench was probably #2.

if a democrat needs an excuse for losing, any excuse will do. They will certainly never admit that their anti constitutional, liberal communist, baby killing policies is what caused them to lose an election. Windy Davis should consider moving to one of those communist filled and communist run blue states if she wants to seek and win an elected office.

Climate change has caused ebola. My SUV caused climate change.
Therefore, Wendy Davis lost because I drive an SUV.
