AUSTIN, Texas -- With Wendy Davis trailing in the polls behind her Republican opponent Greg Abbott, her Democratic supporters have resorted to a desperate, eleventh-hour attack. However it is not the heavily-criticized wheelchair ad; this is a brand new attack, launched on Monday, the first day of early voting. This time, the Democrats' messaging brings with it an added element of race-baiting, twisting Abbott's words to insinuate that he is opposed to interracial marriages, ignoring the well-known fact that Abbott's wife Cecelia is Hispanic.
The issue originated with a San Antonio Express-News article from Sunday, in which Austin Bureau Chief Peggy Fikac describes conversations that Abbott and Davis had with the paper's editorial board on the issue of gay marriage, and the lawsuits challenging Texas' law banning it. The editorial board also tried to connect the current litigation over gay marriage to debates over interracial marriage from the last century.
Abbott did not concede the paper's argument that the two issues were equally situated, and Fikac makes an error that many political commentators have on the issue of gay marriage: conflating the acknowledgement that a law might be constitutionally permissible with being personally or morally supportive of it.....

Put a fork in her, she’s done.
What a freaktard.
At this point I think she’s just auditioning for a TV show.
LOL How dare he not defend a ban on interracial marriage. LOL
“twisting Abbott’s words to insinuate that he is opposed to interracial marriages”
Ah, Mr. Race Card. We meet again!
She would be a PERFECT candidate for “The View”
Texas Democrats are lower than dog poop. They have lied and cheated since the days of the biggest cheater, LBJ, won his senate seat by having dead people voting in alphabetical order. And they aren’t very smart.
You said: “Texas Democrats are lower than dog poop.”
Actually they are lower than a whale turd in the Marianas Trench
Talk about throwing away your money.
No one gives a rats a$% about interracial marriage these days. She is an idiot.
The real irony is that Abbott’s wife is Hispanic.
Must be related to George Zimmerman.
Ho Hum
I voted for Abbott today, early voting started.
right now, somewhere in Austin, a democrat prosecutor is sniffing through this guy’s garbage to see if there is anything the can indict him for...
Wendy, you are really hitting the bottom of the scrum barrel. Interracial Marriage, who are you married to, a dildo?
Wendy Davis never stood a chance from day one. The Dems were out of their freaking minds to run someone for Governor whose sole claim to fame was a filibuster over abortion.
All I want to know at this point is what Greg Abbott’s margin of victory will be.
