Abbott challenges Davis to be seen with Obama; she’ll be there tomorrow

[mc51tc]

"HOUSTON — Greg Abbott, attorney general and GOP nominee for governor, challenged state Sen. Wendy Davis to appear with President Obama during his visit to Houston tonight.

“ObamaCare’s Three Musketeers – President Obama, Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi – are convening at a swanky Houston fundraiser tonight; will Sen. Davis be joining her big government allies?” said Abbott campaign spokesman Matt Hirsch. “Last month Sen. Davis said she would welcome President Obama to Texas, so we assume she wouldn’t miss it.”

Reid actually isn’t coming, though his name was on the original invite for a joint DSCC/DCCC fund-raiser. Pelosi arrived in Houston with Obama a little while ago.

As for Davis, the Democratic nominee for governor, her campaign tells us she isn’t ducking Obama at all. She’ll be at his speech Thursday at the LBJ library civil rights summit in Austin.

On Wednesday night, said spokeswoman Rebecca Acuna, Davis will be at former President Bill Clinton’s speech and a dinner at the LBJ summit."

You show`em Wendy!

3. I guess Abbott will have to invite $hitty Pants back to get attention.

If W was still president Abbott would chase him over the state also even after W started a useless war. At least in the case of ACA Americans are benefitting by getting affordable healthcare.

4. Abbott likes only to rub elbows

with the likes of Ted Nugent! No class at all!

5. I have 99 problems, and one of them is not having the resources to support all of the worthy

candidates running.

9. She's on my tab in Austin! 2 things I sense:

1) Abbott seems afraid of Davis;

2) He sees poll data he doesn't like.

11. I hope Abbott has a reason to be afraid, and I hope that reason is YOU!

As far as polling data, the only one that counts this far out is internal polling, that no one releases unless it looks good for them. In addition, anything released will just be "top sheet" data which means NOTHING to the "boots on the ground" people this far out. If there are good numbers now, great, we need motivated volunteers to register and plow the ground by pounding the ground. But this far out, poll numbers mean bupkis, what we need to be doing is registering voters and generating a ground campaign.

209 days and counting. http://www.allthingsdemocrat.com/pages/electioncountdown.php

7. That's supposed to be

a challenge? Wow.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. Why is Obama supposedly so "toxic"?

And RWNJs wonder why we think that there might be some racial overtones to their opposition to Obama?

10. They created a doctrinal narrative. Now, they're stuck with it.
