I can't see Wendy Davis winning. She's a real lightweight, in truth, who had one moment in the sun, but she does not come off as a chief executive, much less a chief executive of a state as large as Texas.
You don't have to be a "me-too" Democrat to win in today's Texas, but you do have to appear to be up to the job. Wendy Davis does not come off as a Governor. I could see her pulling off winning a Congressional seat, but not a Governor's race.
Could she win the urban counties? Probably. Would she sweep South Texas? Yes. But I believe that Davis would LOSE ground in the rest of Texas. She's put herself out there on a hot-button social issue in Texas where there are still some moderate Democrats who will not vote for someone who wages a pro-abortion filibuster.
