Do you guys remember Wendy Davis taking the Texas state Senator taking the media and twitter by storm when she filibustered a bill dealing with women's health?

Well now she thinks that she has enough popularity to run for one of the most visible Governorships in the USA, Texas.

I personally like her, but i feel she is too green to win this seat. Also the soft sexism that is within the state of T exas makes me think that it will not happen. This article on Rare sums up how I feel the best. Do you guys agree that Davis is a good canidate but will just not make it due to her state?

Davis' chances of winning are extremely small. Texas is too red for her to win in the foreseeable future.

I do remember the filibustering (and also the protesters who had jars of urine and feces to toss on their senators). Davis captured the nation's attention for this. She's smart. Pretty too and photogenic. I thinks she'd make an attractive candidate except for this: Her views aren't representative, I don't think, of the majority of citizens in Texas.

Why do you propagate these lies?

Yes, I far as I could see, the pro-abortion demonstrators showed excellent civility and decorum.

And the native-Texan card is played early.

If it comes down to the Liberal pro-abort feminist and the Conservative handicapped man....

She has a chance she has alot of wealthy backers. She is a very nice lady that doesnt put up with a whole lot of crap. Plus she is pretty much in the center of politics. Texas is pretty much tired of the land robbing bible thumpers controlling everything. Perry and his hench men are already under investigation by the state for a couple of things. Let it play out. One thing that hurt Dems in the last election is having two candidates that split the vote Perry on won with around 35 percent. So a large majority didnt want him. Plus after making Texas look stupid to the rest of the country and along with Cruz I would say she has as good a shot as anyone.
 
Once again, the Democratic liberals throw God and their Bibles under the bus so they don't have to be accountable for their actions (rape & incest excepted).

What does the Bible say about when life begins?

“And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life.” (Exodus 21:22-23)

Straight from the Jewish Torah, God immediately affirms the value of human life in a mother’s womb.

Next, a divinely appointed prophet from the womb:

Jeremiah 1:5 – ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Other prophets and Biblical personalities ordained from their mother’s wombs:

Samson: Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. And I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name. “But he said to me, `Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now you shall not drink wine or strong drink nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’” (Judges 13:6-7, see also Judges 16:17)

John the Baptist: “For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine or liquor; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, while yet in his mother’s womb.” (Luke 1:15)

Jesus, the Son of God: Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” – Luke chapter 1

The Apostle Paul: “But when He who had set me apart, even from my mother’s womb, and called me through His grace, was pleased…” (Galatians 1:15)

It is clear in scripture that in some way, God creates life in a mother’s womb.

Psalm 139:13 – ‘For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.’

Of course, the question for Barack and Michelle Obama and the pro-abortion crowd, is: What divine insight does the pro-abortion crowd think they have to where they can destroy in a mother’s womb that which God is somehow instrumental in creating? Mr. President? Michelle Obama?

It's true that Perry got only 39% in the Democratic wave year in 2006. But there was still 57% between him and Republican Strayhorn. Abbott will be running without the unpopularity of Perry and Texas is still very Red. Davis is a huge underdog.

there is always the potential of abbot making a idiot of himself.

There's the potential of anyone making an idiot of themself. No race is impossible, but Davis' chances are small.
 
According to a survey from the nonpartisan public policy group Texas Lyceum, Abbott, the likely Republican candidate for Texas governor, leads Davis 29-21 percent.

Considering 50% are undecided that's not a very helpful poll. Early polls with that many undecided generally have little predictive value. PPP has her down 8 with Abbott two percent away from 50. With the filibuster still fresh an everyone's minds she should be doing better than that if she were likely to win.

Considering she just bblew onto the scene I'm surprised she is doing so well.

Usually people who rise like that do their best right after their big event. Down 8 to 10 right now before the general election really amps up, I doubt she'll win. Anything can happen but she's certainly an underdog.

Oh I agree she is an underdog. But from my own anecdotal completely unscientific polling people in these parts are so sick of the current state of affairs around here I think she might have a chance if she can expand beyond just the abortion issue.

I would not call her an underdog just yet. She was well known before standing up. Maybe not to America but in Texas she is. Especcially a very red Fort Worth and we love her to death. She has come along way. 9 points inst much the thing to remember is 50% havent made up their mind and Abbott has been around for awhile so he hasnt really impressed anyone.
 
I couldn't care less about The Bible when it comes to anything, much less abortion.

And about that filibuster, it led to a break down of order--mob rule from the gallery--that kept the senators from doing their jobs. Because they were unable to cast their votes in time, a second special session had to be called. Surely, that won't sit well with Texas voters.

Two words: Ann Richards. ;)

We do have somewhat of a tendency toward sexism down here, but it's the good kind. :)

She may get plenty of votes, but Texans are not supporters of abortion. Her filibuster will be a source of campaign contribution from outsiders, but the voters of Texas will not be convinced. In the end, and because of pro-life Texans 53%R 47%D.
