Dem governors writing off Wendy Davis
I must be a bad person because I am enjoying the public humiliation of Wendy Davis. Perhaps it is because she is such an obvious phony and exploiter of other people, draining her ex-husband’s retirement savings to finance her law school and handing him his walking papers after the last tuition check cleared the bank. Or perhaps it is her anointing as the glam feminist Next Big Thing of the Democrats, following a makeover that transformed her from dowdy to dazzling. Dems would say that it is because of the Republican war on women, but that doesn’t explain why I adore Mia Love so much.
But enough about me. Here is Wendy’s latest humiliation as her cover story continues to unravel. Logan Churchwell writes at Breitbart:
Amid consistently poor polling numbers and key policy positions often indistinguishable from her Republican counterpart, the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) withheld State Senator Wendy Davis from its targeted race list for 2014. Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin dashed hopes by reminding party supporters that Texas has been a reliably red state for two decades.
The announcement was made at a gathering of the Third Way think tank, according to the Wall Street Journal. Party leaders have instead opted to focus offensive operations for governors’ mansions in the Midwest to include Pennsylvania and Ohio—states carried by President Obama in 2012. Florida remains a consistent prize as well.
