    That's about as factual as saying Greg Abbott is anti-walking.

    Wow. you went there? That's as low as you can go, aside from making fun of Special Olympians, which Barack did on Leno, of course.

    Nope, don't sell yourself short. You've been much lower.

    Merely observing that your post (and everything you have said in this thread) is pretty much ridiculous. Try harder

    Oh my, well lookie here.

    Davis pulls within 7 points and Abbott is polling under 50%

    Davis Closes the Gap to Single Digits in First Post-Primary Poll

    This statewide poll by the Emerson College Polling Society found that State Senator Wendy Davis has closed the gap in the first post-primary poll in the Texas Governor's race. Conducted from March 7 to March 12, it finds Davis within single digits of her opponent, Greg Abbott.

    The poll shows that 42 percent of Texas voters back Davis, compared to 49 percent for Abbott

    At the beginning of November, Abbott had a 15 point lead. Davis is making up ground.

    She will get about 40 percent in the election, just like all other statewide dems in the last 10-15 years.

    Her mole itself would get about 40%
    Her shoes would get about 40%

    Abbott is a conservative's conservative.

    I can guarantee you he would stick to his guns.

    He would never "Stand with Wendy"

    Oh well lookie here.

    Abbott appears to be holding an approximate 12 point lead both in the March Rassmussen poll and the running average of the last several polls.

    Real Clear Politics uses the Rassmussen poll and also lists it as a poll of 500 likely voters.

    I looked but couldn't find whether McMark's poll was likely voters or registered voters which I find interesting. Likely voters polls tend to be more accurate.

    It says it is 494 responders, 88.3 percent being very likely to vote and 4.8 percent being somewhat likely -- the other 6.9 percent being "not sure".

    She's also hired some heavy hitters to take over running her campaign. It'll be a heavy lift but it's fun to watch the crazies squirm.

    “We are seeing something none of us has anticipated, and that is the Abbott campaign is on the defensive. First, they had the Ted Nugent experiment which was supposed to be about the second amendment and ended up being about child predators. The second event was the Lily Ledbetter Act which is about equal pay. They want to talk about process. But the message that is breaking through now anyway is about equal pay for women. If you have a series of additional issues like that that seem to put the republicans on the wrong side of women, then all bets are off as to how this election will actually turn out.”

    You should be ashamed, texxx. Making fun of a person simply because they have a mole on their face, something you obviously consider to be a flaw. Liz Taylor had a mole, and it was real. Somehow, it didn't hurt her career.

    Hmm no neg rep received.

    I was only promoting Wendy via her campaign slogan, can you tell me where Greg Abbott stands on pertinent issues?
