As a feisty state senator with pink sneakers and a fist in the air, Wendy Davis captured both the love and the ire of America last year when she pulled an 11-hour filibuster of anti-abortion measures in the Texas Capitol.
But after using that star power to win her party's nomination for governor, Davis is still struggling to take a lead over Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott, and some say party confidence in her race is waning.
"I think the frustration in some Democratic circles is that, despite her star power and substantial war chest, she has not been able to move the dial against Greg Abbott after a year on the campaign trail," Mark Jones, political science professor at Rice University in Houston, told FoxNews.com.
Even the high-profile, abuse-of-power indictment of Republican Gov. Rick Perry, whom Davis hopes to replace, didn't seem to hurt Abbott or raise the Democrat's profile over the media din.

I don't know how this story could possibly be true ... cause we love libtards down here in the Lone Star State ... especially the baby-killing kind!
There may be a growing backlash against the phony prosecution of Gov Perry?
I wish that big wart would fade.
Abortion Barbie’s star didn’t shine very bright to begin with, so there wasn’t much to fade.
After her filibuster stunt, the Dems thought they could run her on bright smile and good looks. A few newspaper stories about her less-than-ethical antics and lies over the years pretty much killed her campaign.
A sure tell: “Turn Texas Blue” yanked most of its youthful teams out of Texas long ago. I know one who is now working in Alaska. I’m hoping the midnight sun kept him awake all summer.
What her handful of craptastic supporters who wave coat hangers around were going to win the day for the witch?
You can’t run and win with death as your winning strategy.
No way man,
Wendy Davis and that injun squaw, Warren need to be on the national ticket for the dems.
The Dems thought they could run her on bright smile and good looks ...
As you can see from the above before (college) and after (plastic surgery and new doo) snaps, her bright smile and good looks are about as phony as a three dollar bill. Considering that she dumped the poor sucker who paid for the makeover (as well as her education), and lost custody of her daughter in the divorce (something that's almost impossible to happen to a mother in Texas), you can't say very much for her personality either. Neither of these factors did much for her campaign either.
Wendy Davis was never anything but a glow in the eyes of the liberals.......she never got out of the doldrums that are the Democrat party!!!
She is so going to be the next govenor of Texas.....
.....snicker....
She was not a star she was a dud firework, there were a few sparks and then a fizzle
She literally has no campaign. Her entire strategy is to mock Abbott and call him names.
Maybe her wart can give a speech too.
She needs to move to California, like Sandy Fluke did.
Then she’d be in “high clover”
This is the only kind of ad I've seen from her. First there was the one that alleged that Abbott was "soft on punishing rapists" because he voted against allowing a rape victim to sue the company that made a particular brand of vacuum cleaners because the rapist was a door-to-door salesman selling that brand (but was not employed by the manufacturer).
The latest ad features a guy with cancer who somehow blames Abbott for it. Pretty weak stuff.
Boob has fake breasts...
It is the same on Facebook, when does she ever get to promoted her own views? Does she even have any?
