.....are largely the same ones who wish to create an aura of inevitability around Abbott. I realize that the hard-core conservative base is going to vote for him, but IMHO everyone else is up for grabs.

Abbott is really a piece of work and every time he opens his mouth he does his campaign a little more damage. His alignment with Perry on the Medicaid/ACA issue is going to cost him. The continual assault on a woman's right to an abortion is going to cost him.

As a Texan, I would definitely not write Wendy Davis off.
