got time for a quick MSNBC poll to help Wendy Davis (running for Texas Gov)?

Vote NO in this poll if you agree that our new ad fairly points out Greg Abbott's record of denying justice to others. Let's show MSNBC the power of Team Wendy.

my 'no' is with 47% of respondents. Her ad tells the truth of his hypocracy, but as truth and facts aren't big these days, I'm concerned.

It does not matter a bit what a nation wide poll says. Only the voters in Texas should be allowed to participate in the poll because only they matter on this election.

...anyone who's looking at a web poll on MSNBC has already decided how to vote. But it might make slacktivists feel good for 'doing something".

the way the media has reacted is classic knee-jerk. Aren't they supposed to "inform" the people so we can make better decisions?

Wendy did a great job on Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC today.

Try to be a little less cynical. It's hard, I know.

Would it be more acceptable if Wendy Davis just made up a lie about Abbott's record the way Republicans constantly lie about Obama?

Abbot's head must be filled with enough Fux lies to create another network. Davis did not attack him for being in a wheel-chair. She did point out in the ad that this mean-spirited prick got laws passed to keep other Texans from having the same rights he had. Keep up the good work, Wendy.
