Are even Wendy Davis' most ardent supporters detecting the handwriting on the wall? Seems like it. There was NOW president Terry O'Neill, on this evening's Ed Show, coming close to throwing in the towel. Said O'Neill: "this has always been very much an uphill battle." Translation: Davis is going down in her race for Governor of Texas.
O'Neill's comment came in the context of a discussion of Davis' recent disclosure that she had, reportedly for health reasons, undergone two abortions. It does seem that Davis, down in the polls and with little left to lose, decided to double down on her core issue. O'Neill risibly rejected Schultz's suggestion that politics were behind Davis' decision, but did acknowledge Davis' desperate political position.

When the NOW president pretty much says you’re going to lose, it’s time to say goodnight, Wendy. Ping to Today show list.
Saw my first Wendy Davis bumper sticker today. Newer pickup truck, guy looked like a union member.
HA HA that good one LOL!
I guess sex doesn’t ALWAYS sell when it comes to politics. This is good to see.
But she just told us about her two abortions. You should be storming the ramparts to defend her!!!!!!
I am glad to hear this because she has launched a couple of brutal TV ads at Abbot, accusing him of some awful things.. I hope she loses big time!
Great news but much expected. Even illegals don’t kill their babies. She is a gargoyle.
Wendy is a slut......and a murderer
I’ve often wondered if Davis’ actual goal was not so much to win the Texas Governor’s race (although she surely wouldn’t mind that), as it was to put up a good enough fight in a deep red state to emerge with name recognition and political “street cred.”
A bit of a stretch, I’ll admit. But not entirely implausible, IMHO. She had to know the odds going in, and what politician isn’t looking for the next opportunity?
Not in the least a stretch.
She'll be a frequent guest on cable shows for the next twenty or thirty years, at least.
Depending on her focus-group scores, she may very well be run for some other office by the Democrats.
As I understand it, Austin is full of loons.
the fat lady has sung... 
I wish they would throw in the towel with Sam... I mean his daughter Nunn, in Georgia. I am getting very tired of seeing her face.
Ba bye Windy Wendy ! .....LOL !
There are two in the parking lot where I work. One of the Georgia State Employee parking lots. No opposition - Perdue stickers.
I don’t think it is the right place to advertise affiliation, so I don’t. I do however want to get as many conservatives to the poll to defeat little Nunn as possible.
Everyone has always known Wendy “Abortion Barbie” Davis is going to lose, even Abortion Barbie.
She had no chance of getting re-elected to her state senate seat. If she ran and lost re-election to the state senate, she would have been just another loser nobody. By running and losing a race for governor she became a nationwide liberal media darling.
After she finishes losing the race for governor, she can make a lucrative living as a talking head. She won’t rake in a fraction of the loot that Hillary has, but she can still rake in some money as a talking head on MSNBC and at NOW conventions.
I once saw a beat up old car, half of it painted in primer, smoke billowing out of the tail pipe and all four tires mismatched. It had a bumper sticker that said PROUD TO BE UNION.
...........LOL, a few of us aren’t
