Neat.  Is she allowed to yield her time to other senators?

Wow.  I wish the US Senate would adopt Texas filibuster rules.

I'm kind of surprised Democrats are even allowed to filibuster bills in the TX Senate.  Don't the pubs have a supermajority in that chamber?

I'm not quite sure what's going on right now, but the crowd just cheered.  I guess the bill is dead for this session?

Wish I could say I knew the demographics of Davis' district and how chopped up it was in the last round of redistricting, but I'd say she's safe next year if it includes the non-sexist parts of Arlington and Fort Worth.  Even if it doesn't, I'd expect a real GOTV effort that will make her cruise to reelection.

What a fighter.

It's a shame that she's not running for anything higher next year, according to Wikipedia.

Why?  You want her to lose?

I sincerely doubt this has enhanced her ability to run for statewide office in Texas.  Indeed, it ruined whatever slim chance she may have had for the foreseeable future.

The only higher office she might be able to win is U.S. House and then only if she is replacing or succeeding another Democrat.

I'm not saying she deserves to be blocked from higher office, just pointing out that she is.

Well, if Perry ends up running again, it's possible that he's damaged himself enough the past two years to make the race at least somewhat competitive.  But thinking about it, it's probably better that Davis sit out until Texas becomes ripe for Democrats statewide, or run for a House seat, like you said.
