There is nothing arrogant in not wanting a simple-minded liberal elected to any public office.

I agree. What I mean by arrogant is because we ignore the candidate and just think they will never make it.
No, but it's arrogance in believing she has no chance. It's arrogance in thinking that Texas is so solidly crimson-red that they'd never elect someone like Wendy Davis as Governor.
Austin has always been a liberal enclave but now Houston and San Antonio have turned blue as well. There's profound demographic changes happening all across the country and Texas is no exception. You've got a growing Hispanic population, growing urbanization and added to this are a lot of recent out-of-staters who've come to Texas for job opportunities and brought their liberal voting habits with them.
Democrats now believe that Texas is turning purple, they might be right, and they're going to dump millions of $$$ into this race forcing Republicans to put up a fight.
