I understand that this district has part of tarrant county in it, but how schizophrenic have those voters got to be to elect a barfly like wendy davis, and then turn around and replace her with someone as solid (at least she sounds solid) as konni burton?

I voted for Konni.

IIRC, Wendy’s predecessor,
a Republican who was defeated for reelection,
was something of a criminal,
a lot of people were glad to
see him go.

Wendy stole the election when she first got elected to the Texas senate because the incumbent (Kim Brimer), a long time republican, took the race for granted and got snookered by the black, brown, and female vote.

She got reelected because the same thing happened when her opponent (a physician) sat on his ass and didn't work the constituency like he should have.

Windy Davis is bitch, and became a pawn in the DNC's turn Texas Blue campaign. She really is trailer trash from Rhode Island and is done in Texas politics.
