Yeah, I goofed. Oops.
I like how the poll and the title ask two different things. She has a chance because she's not running as a third party candidate (Yes, I know, Gary Johnson blah blah blah). However, I don't think she'll win.
I'm sure if there were a man who married a woman so that she would pay his way through college and then left her afterward, who abandoned his kids, that people would question the character of that man and rightfully so.
Who knows if Texans are able to recognize that if she were a man, none of this would be an issue. At the moment, I don't give Texans that much credit, as they have proven too many times to be a regressive society.
I know little about her, and it is impossible to judge her from just the facts presented in the original post, which seems to be a hit piece from one of her opponents. Do we know for a fact that she initiated the divorce? I suspect the details of the custody hearings are kept confidential, so we probably do not know whether or not she tried to keep custody. Did they adopt the children, or were they hers from before the marriage? If they were adopted she had no more obligation to retain custody than her husband did. The fact that she supports legal abortion says nothing about her parenting abilities.
What you want to do is read the Dallas Morning News article published earlier this week (if you're genuinely interested in catching up).
sounds like somebody is worried about living in a state with a women as governor. The thought is terrifying right!
Sounds like college was the price of the poontang. Maybe it was worth it.
She'll won't lose because of her background, it'll be because she isn't a moral fascist. Texas loves'em.
The problem is that she doesn't wear a huckleberry with 45's holstered...and she thinks its okay to brutally, aggressively murder innocent little babies in the womb...as so elegantly described by moral fascists.
She actually believes that women should have control over their reproductive health and role. Can you believe that? She believes that women should have equal rights to life, liberty, property, and self-determination. Man...what the hell is she thinking? Women thinking that they're equals...HA! The humanity of it all!
Well then....unless my understanding of Texas's political makeup is wildly incorrect, there is no chance in hell that she will win, if that article in the OP is even partially correct.Running for governor of the most important state in the union.

Edit: Also, don't you think "most important state in the nation" is a bit....biased?
Based on what do you think Texas is the most important state in the union. OMFG. ROFL.Running for governor of the most important state in the union.
I'm not a "moral fascist," I'm a libertarian.
This awful wretch should lose because she is a stooge of Cecile Richards, which absolutely does mean that she thinks it's okay to brutally kill innocent little babies in the womb, and yes, that's going to play a huge role in her loss.
When she was 21 years old, Wendy Davis married a lawyer who was 13 years older than her, and he paid for her undergrad and her law school at Harvard. Immediately after he had written the last check, she divorced him.
What do we call a woman who is with a guy for money, but when the money dries up, she's done with him?
She has two children, full custody of her two children were given to her ex-husband even though he is not the biological father. Isn't it uncommon for the courts to award full custody to the father? What did she do that she was not awarded custody of her own kids? The divorce records are sealed. Hmmm. As a Texan, I'm concerned about this.
Also, did she even want her kids? There's no record that she even fought for them.
Did she want her kids? We know she's an advocate for partial birth abortion.
Do you think, given the character concerns this woman has, that she will win in the state of Texas?
I don't vote for people on the basis of character.
I vote for them strictly on where they stand on the issues.
I would far rather have someone who I despise in power - who runs things well; rather then someone whom I like - who runs things horribly.
Fair enough. I do vote for people on their character. That's why I have voted about 50/50 for democrats and republicans in the past.

I did say it seemed to be regressing, that indicates a probably that it was progressing at some point.By the way you know that Texas has had female governors in the past, right?
Typical Texan. Hence why I'll never be returning.Bulls and blood, dust and mud, the roar of a Sunday crowd...

I'm glad you agree that your previous statement on the topic was biased.Hell yeah it is. Yee haw.

Ann Richardson was an excellent governor, imo, though like most, not perfect. Certainly better than Bush or Perry.So a female governor is progress just because of what she has between her legs? What if she was a crappy governor?
I think you're focused on all the wrong stuff. Jobs, education, security... improvements in those areas represents progress. Whether the governor has a vagina is pretty inconsequential.
