Wendy Davis did make a mistake.....

[reACTIONary]

Wendy Davis did make a mistake. She thought that we were ready for a single mother.

1. I'm ready for a good governor, period.

3. I want Wendy to be governor

And psychically channel Ann Richards, Molly Ivins, and Barbara Jordan. That would be good, interesting and fun. It's time Texas got a break.

8. Wish Molly Ivins was here to comment

Wonder what she'd say about all the brouhaha over Wendy Davis's life.

2. I thought she was a divorcee

whose children were in their late teens when she divorced.

P.S. Consider the source.

6. She's been divorced twice.

Once when they were very young and again later. Not that it matters.

7. What matters to me is the article's intro making it sound like she'd NEVER married.

Can she at least get points for TRYING it twice?

4. She is an amazing woman who is a real threat to the Plutocracy, she will be viciously attacked

for this reason! Stay strong Wendy, we are with you!

5. Certainly showcases the double standard applied to female candidates...

I hope she wins. We need more women in office everywhere, real women who have faced real problems like Wendy has.

Texas seems to be drifting Blue. As an outsider, I still would love to see it. The people certainly deserve better than their Repub overlords have shown them.

Wendy Davis is what Repubs fear most, a principled, strong woman who disagrees with them and is right.

9. Are you saying that a Democratic married mother would have a good shot?

?

10. Nope. Just posting...

... an interesting article. And welcome to DU!
