Davis dismisses issue of discrepancies in personal story as campaign attack

[TexasTowelie]

AUSTIN — Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis’ rise from a teenage single mother living in a trailer park to Harvard Law School is a centerpiece of her campaign for Texas governor, but some of the details of her personal story may be fuzzier than first thought.

Davis’ critics said Monday that the small discrepancies suggest her past is not quite as inspirational as she has lead Texans to believe. Davis dismissed the issue as a baseless personal attack.

Now 50, Davis has long said she first took a job at 14 to help support her single mother and three siblings in Fort Worth, Texas. By 19, she was married and divorced with a child of her own and living in a mobile home.

After community college, she graduated from college at Texas Christian University and with honors from Harvard Law School. She later returned to her home state and built a successful legal career before jumping into politics.

1. Good Job Wendy

These attacks are really weak. Abbott and the GOP are worried about Wendy

2. Her sins will be discussed on Sundays by fundy congregations. That's why they are doing it.

I don't think Wendy will be getting that vote, but they've been driving elections there for a long time. We'll see how many show up for her.
