Taking a perfectly Republican stance gives Abbott victory. He did not make any big gaffes, so he wins.
One talks Republican in a Republican State. This should not be called losing, it's the recipe for winning handily. That's my opinion.

[TeyshaBlue]

This.

All Abbott had to do was not step in it. Mission Accomplished.

That's just the opinion of a liberal hack. According to legitimate news outlets she didn't fair so well...

Wendy Davis LOL

[Spurminator]

I didn't watch the debate but I have a hard time believing she did anything to gain support from undecideds. Her entire campaign is basically still a filibuster, relying far too much on emotional touch points and narcissistic self-victimization. It's every bit as light on real ideas, and every bit as insulting to the intelligence, as most Republican campaigns. She's making it way too easy for Abbott to take the positive high road. He can let her just stand in the corner and sound like the shrill whiner. I find her unlistenable.

I'd love to have a liberal in the Governor's seat but I absolutely hate her campaign.

I would agree. Talking over the moderator to the extent she did seemed like a bad play, IMO. I was listening to that and it made me wince.

She's gotta go overboard Imo. Just being competent isn't going to cut it against Abbott running in entrenched mode.

Dude, wtf is up with the way abortion barbie talks?

At least she could, given the chance, WALK the talk.

I would agree. Makes sense to shake things up.

Honestly, I thought both of them sounded stiff and politician-y.

Kinda makes me wish for an occasional straight answer. Already know who I am voting for anyway, but still...

Idk, I didn't watch any of the debate. Abbot is the next Gov so I don't see any point in paying attention to the race.

Just wanted to see boo complain about biased breitbart after posting his own completely biased source.

After a lackluster debate performance, Greg Abbott is launching negative TV ads against Wendy Davis, but experts in Texas suggest that Republican’s negative shift might be a sign that the governor’s race is tightening.

On TWC’s Capitol Tonight, Harvey Kronberg, editor of theQuorum Report (http://www.quorumreport.com/), suggested that Greg Abbott is going negative because of the success of the Democratic campaign to register more Democrats. Kronberg raised questions about what Abbott’s internal polling is showing.

Kronberg said, “When you register people to vote for a specific election they actually do have a pretty high proclivity to vote – and you start seeing that the mechanics of what the Democrats are doing may come together and that may explain why all of a sudden Greg Abbott ran his first negative commercial. It raises questions as to what their own internal polling is showing.”Ross Ramsey of the Texas Tribune also raised questions about what Abbott’s internal polls are showing:

Ramsey said, “You wonder what his internal polls are showing. Usually you don’t attack an opponent who is behind you. There is no reason to take any notice of them or to raise their name ID.”The Abbott campaign consistently claims that they have an insurmountable lead, but they won’t release the polling to the public. Wendy Davis gained momentum after her debate performance on Friday (http://www.politicususa.com/2014/09/19/wendy-davis-dominates-greg-abbott-texas-gubernatorial-debate.html). The Republican candidate had to bus supporters in to create a fake show of support for his candidacy before the debate. (http://www.politicususa.com/2014/09/19/texas-turmoil-greg-abbott-fakes-support-busing-people-debate-wendy-davis.html)

The decision by the Abbott camp to run negative ads suggests that the election for governor is getting tighter. Candidates who are way ahead never would take the chance of alienating voters with negative advertising. Negative ads are used when an opponent has a higher favorability rating than the candidate.

Abbott’s polling probably shows a post-debate bounce for Davis and a tightening of the race.Something is up in the election for governor. The Republicans are acting worried as a Wendy wave could be building in Texas.

GOP strategist gets scolded on Texas TV for calling rape, incest victims ‘minor issues’


http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/kxas_rapeincest_140923c-800x430.jpg


GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak shot back that a ban on abortion was “the law of the land” WTF? :lol because Davis had not been successful with her attempt to filibuster it.

“Texas is a pro-life state. We can get into minor issues that are one percent or two percent the problem,” he explained. “But ultimately, Texas is a strong pro-life state. Abbott would love to fight this campaign on that issue alone from here on out but Wendy knows that’s not strategically wise.”

“That’s the first time I’ve heard rape or incest called a ‘minor issue,’” Angle interrupted.

“It’s minor in terms of the percentage of cases. That’s all I’m saying,” Mackowiak replied.

“A victim of rape or incest is not a minor problem,” Angle insisted.

All you TX Repugs just fucking suck hind tit on a boar hog.

[CosmicCowboy]

I'm pro-abortion and that argument is stupid, Boo

minor percentage does not equal minor problem.

Rape is a major problem.

Rape pregnancies as a percentage of total pregnancies are minor.

See the difference, Boo?

[TeyshaBlue]

Gov. Just called. He said GFY.

same as gun fellator/NRA logic: USA has many 1000s of gun homicides/year, but it's a minor problem compared to the total population. right wing logic! :lol

and even better, a lot of the gun deaths are suicides, which is great because those people are losers, like Robin Williams.

and you know damn well, that many females pregnant by rape or incest (whose bodies can't "just wash it out and refuse to be pregnant") will have much harder time and $$$ getting an abortion because of Repug assholes like this guy and the politicians Repugs he sucks up to for profit.

Pundits decry Wendy Davis' wheelchair campaign ad. But what do Texans with disabilities think?


“Now that both sides have pulled out the wheelchairs, let’s get past the imagery and get to the real issues” that affect people with disabilities in Texas, he says.

He cites 150,000 disabled Texans who prefer to stay at home – at significant savings to taxpayers – who can’t get adequate help from community programs.

The programs face chronic recruitment and retention problems because of low pay and other issues.

At the same time, he says, the state is fixated on institutions for the disabled, while waiting lists for in-home community programs are as long as 13 years.

Lastly, he faults the state for its claim of “sovereign immunity,” which shields Texas from lawsuits under the 1990 federal Americans with Disabilities Act.

“This ad is not about Greg Abbott in a wheelchair,” Davis’s pollster, Joel Benenson, told The Texas Tribune on Sunday.

“This ad is about Greg Abbott’s behavior and actions with other victims after he had his opportunity and rightly sought justice and received a substantial amount of money,” he said. It’s about Abbott as an “insider,” he said.

Wendy is kicking Abbott's atrophied ass ON THE ISSUES, but god/guns/gays/xenophobia/racism/machoism always suckers Texans to voting Repug against their best interests.

TX has MDAnderson AND is 33rd in public health spending, and near the bottom in spending/student.

This just goes to prove what a dumb shill Boutons is. Even in the face of certain defeat, rather than administering his important ideas and arguments elsewhere on the front where real "ideological battles" are being fought, he'd rather hang out here and keep spamming.
