I don't see any scenario of a Davis win, barring a nationwide Republican collapse or Abbott pulling an Akin/Mourdock. Even then she'd probably still lose. There just aren't enough swing voters, more than half the state votes straight ticket Republican every time (which is why no Dem has won a statewide office since the 90s).

Don't forget all of the hype surrounding former Houston Mayor Bill White (D) back in 2010: folks got too cute with the outlier polls, showing a close race...until Perry kicked White's ass by a landslide margin.

Not quite the same thing. Perry very well could've lost (or at least had a close race) if not for the 2010 GOP wave pulling him over the finish line. Wendy Davis probably would lose against Abbott even in a Dem wave year.
