Dem governor's group DGA not supporting Wendy Davis campaign? Says Dems can't win in TX.

58. but if you get more people voting we might win--or even see PRIMARIES!

won't you think about the smoke-filled rooms FOR ONCE?!

the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

but in all seriousness, this is the same mindset that says both "don't vote 3rd party, vote in the primaries" AND "don't you dare vote in primaries, we'll lose the general"; their problem is it's convincing noone--especially once more and more remember that it was Jeb and Harris in '00, or their relief when Brown ended the Supermajority so they wouldn't have to work as hard... this is the exact same way we got Jeane Kirkpatrick: she was disappointed McGovern and Carter had turned against JFK and LBJ's level of interventionism (even if the presidents themselves were quite reluctant and demanded pullouts)--and, worse, were appealing to undesirables (especially women, a la Jan Crouch and Anita Bryant)
