Democrats are publicly rooting for Wendy Davis to turn Texas blue.

But privately, many of her supporters are resigned to her losing. And, already, some political operatives are pondering how she can stay politically relevant beyond November.

Davis is down by 12 points to opponent Greg Abbott in the race for governor, a disadvantage that many liberals believe could mean a blow-out in November.

But even if Davis suffers a big loss, she could still score a win for her political career — setting herself up as an important player in the party regardless of the final score.

It’s a political path followed by many candidates of both parties — from Sarah Palin to Mike Huckabee — who gain political power and influence even after losing an election.

Rush is right again. For liberals, losing is a resume enhancer.

The Dem’s never see a bright future. They are filled with hate generally and specifically for America.

Amazing exhibit if liberal media bias. Even when a leftwing candidate is about to get shellacked, the media continues with the glowing puff pieces. Meanwhile, in the article, it says Republicans are “terrified” of her future. LOL!
