AUSTIN, TX, March 5, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Abortion rights activist and State Sen. Wendy Davis is officially the Democratic nominee for governor in the state of Texas.
Davis, who entered the national spotlight after a filibuster against a ban on most abortions after 20 weeks' gestation in May 2013, won nearly 80 percent of the vote in a primary she was expected to win with little difficulty.
Money was one of Davis' big advantages in the primary. According to The Dallas Morning News, she raised $2.85 million from January 22 to February 24. Nearly $230,000 of that came from Emily's List, a board member of Austin's Planned Parenthood chapter, and Planned Parenthood efforts on her behalf.
Davis faces a challenge in Republican Greg Abbott, who raised $2.5 million in the same time period, according to the paper. Davis has $11 million in her campaign warchest, while Abbott has $30 million. Twenty-seven percent of Davis' money came from out of state, while only two percent of Abbott's did.

So just so I have this correct. Our tax money went to to Planned Parenthood, and returned as campaign money for Wendy. Would this be called Money Laundering?
Abbott beat her last night by well over 800,000 votes. He will defeat her in November with at least a 1,500,000 vote margin. Ms. Davis is toast with a capital “T”!!! End of story. As for Texas, the state.......it stays Red...”Ruby Red”!!! the Democrat turnout last night was terrible across the board...and “Democrat” Latinos & Hispanics voted against Wendy Davis across the state!!!
Wonder how many of the RAT voters were voting in the Republican to keep John Wayne McCornyn in the Senate?
Only if a republican did it.
You Texans need to do a better job of ridding the state of the left. More and more keep creeping in each year. Soon, you’ll be Colorado.
She knows she will lose. The point to get her some face time on national TV. She is one of the few liberal demonratic women who is not hideously ugly. The demonrats need a prettier version of Sandra Fluke to spout the party line to nodding heads in the media.
oh well.. we tried our best to force Cornyn into a runoff and failed.
Now it’s time to suck it up and vote against the baby killer Wendy Davis! Willing to fight tooth and nail to continue the unborn holocaust.
long odds = no freakin’ chance
Never underestimate the Democrat’s vote stealing abilities, My FRiend.
Yes, and the 'Rats have thousands of similar pathways set up - all at taxpayer's expense and usually with fat personal rakeoffs for the heads of the laundering entities.
It’s about time rich white women make it in America. :)
Yes, the Dems in the Valley voted for your challenger by quite a margin and that was because the challenger ran as a “Pro-Life Democrat.”
I have a great campaign slogan I’d give Wendy, free of charge: “Vote for the Gold Digger-it’s important”!
Wendy would have been far better off to run for Senate. The national media would love to see her in DC and would have gone all out to boost her and shred her opponent.
Texas governor, not so much.
I’m thinking even if she starts dating Bill Clinton she’s not gonna make it in Nov.
Hope you are correct. As I am fond of saying ... get back to me after the election.
She would lose by 15% no matter who her opponent was.
I’m concerned that she’s failing so quickly that her value to us as a national progressive money suck will be lost.
Abbot got more votes than all the dims combined
