(4,695 posts)Greg Abbott also attacked Davis in the same Ad as saying that she is under an FBI Investigation with the Dates of April 2014 over the clip. I look forward to Davis calling Abbott out on this lie. The clip uses a Dallas Morning New Headline about Abbott's accusation.
Greg Abbott has appealed decisions to allow voters to vote just using their usual voter registration cards. Many will be going to the poles to find out that Greg Abbott has decided to keep them form voting if they did not bring an ID that Abbot refused to send them a notice about!
I believe that the Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star Telegram will endorse Davis.

(18,124 posts)yet, she seems to be trying to look out for the best interests of her constituents. I just don't have faith, that with Texas voters, her looking out for their best interests would be enough for them to vote her into office. I mean they did vote perry into office.The dumbed down american voter just doesn't want someone competent in various local, state and national political offices, it seems. I mean there's cruz, issa, ryan, abbott, and a national dirty laundry list too long to mention here. Romney did get 47% of the popular vote, that's telling. Americans ARE NOT giving any indication that they will start voting with an informed mind any time soon.

(429 posts)Does Texas want and is Texas ready for a highly intelligent, well spoken, and ethical governor who will do right for all Texans? If so they couldn't do better that Wendy Davis....But if Texas wants to continue to be a laughing stock around the country, and keep a racist, bigoted, lying, unethical, backwards thinking and doing person as their governor then they will elect gregg abbott.

(2,741 posts)Many Texans will vote AGAINST their own best interests to keep entrenched "racist, bigoted, lying, unethical," and crooked people in office. I was at the U of H during the Nixon years; I saw it first hand. Hasn't changed.
