Unless the world turns upside down in the next 3 1/2 weeks
Abbott doesn't have a thing to worry about election wise.

In what may be one of the most slimy campaign ads ever to air, Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis attacks pro-life candidate Greg Abbott by running an ad with an empty wheelchair that takes a shot at Abbott, who is confined to one.
Davis is the pro-abortion candidate for governor in Texas whose sole claim to fame is having filibustered against a bill to ban late-term abortions. Not content to speak out against protecting unborn babies after viability, the Davis campaign is now mocking her pro-life opponent, Greg Abbott, for being paralyzed.
At age 26, Abbott was struck by a falling oak tree that injured his back as he jogged by. He has used a wheelchair ever since and has become an eloquent pro-life advocate — speaking up for both the disabled and the unborn.
The ad has produced an immediate and overwhelming backlash and response from pro-life people on Twitter:
@WendyDavisTexas you are an awful human being. really truly awful…

Wendy Davis has it all wrong. @GregAbbott_TX will defend the vulnerable as the next Gov of Texas! #txgov pic.twitter.com/feMGBR0zFW — Right to Life (@nrlc) October 10, 2014
Wendy Davis: Nothing says loser quite like making the national party disown you a month before the election

Wendy Davis’s 15 minutes of fame were over a while ago anyway. #GetLost — Monica Crowley (@MonicaCrowley) October 10, 2014
Place your bets: Who’ll be the first to claim that upset at Wendy Davis is due to an anti-woman double standard?

So… Governor-elect Greg Abbott, not too premature, right? #TXgov — Ali A. Akbar (@ali) October 10, 2014
For Abbott, the accident serves as a reminder that regardless of someone’s circumstances, he or she deserves a chance at life, Abbott has said.
“As I laid there motionless on the ground, gripped with pain, as helpless as a child in the womb, I knew my life had changed forever,” he said at the National Right to Life convention in June. “Some people think it’s easy to write off the lives of the disabled or the different. But every day, God reminds us that all life has value, no matter the form.”
Ping!
Typical Liberal “civility”.
Being a minority or disabled means you are a fair target for liberal bigotry
Typical Nazi eugenicists.
Well, if you are pro-abortion, it is your “right” for other people to die if their continued existence might be inconvenient for you or some other pro-abort. That’s what pro-abortion is all about—the belief that no one should ever have to lift a finger on someone else’s behalf.
W. T. F. was she thinking? breathtakingly stupid and tone-deaf.

Rather than “liberal” try “typical rotten adolescent maliciousness.”
Davis has got to be an idiot as well as her campaign people, that kind of trash will not get votes, it’ll lose them.
Wendy Davis hitting “below the belt”, literally
I hope she goes down hard!
I would say the politics of a Liberal are consistent with rotten adolescent maliciousness.
Well, from what I’ve seen of her polls we pretty much don’t have to worry about what she’ll do when she takes office.
Thank God.

Methinks Wendy Davis is the handicapped person.
While there are many lewd, female, anatomical referents, none suffice to describe her.

as one who has a disability I fear Leftists the most running healthcare. Leftists have shown they are willing to euthanize the disabled because they are disabled and use health care services the most.
Good to see abortion Barbie further reveal her heart of ugly.
Before this election, most people never knew he was disabled. However, Abbott is making his wheelchair the focal point of his entire campaign. Every commercial features “the chair” which is getting more than a little creepy. His first commercial was him rolling though a parking garage saying, “Just one more, just one more, just one more.” Very, very creepy. It made no sense. One more illegal? One more job loss? One more tax percentage? In every debate, Davis brings up his campaign manager’ sexual charges and he never addresses it. On the other hand, Davis is a ding bat. Neither candidate is fit to hold the office.
