The Shape of Things to Come

Yesterday brought the first primary of 2014; it was in Texas.  There were no major surprises in the results.  Senator Cornyn was renominated and faces an easy road to re-election.  In the race for governor, Greg Abbott will be the Republican candidate and Wendy Davis will be the Democrat.  Davis, you may recall, is the state senator who gained fame by her opposition to a bill against certain late term abortions.  Her campaign is mostly about her biography as a single mother who struggled and succeeded.  Of course, that story turned out to be false.  Her husband actually paid for her education and took care of the kids while she went to law school.  Then, once the last payment on her education was made, Davis left both the husband and the children and went off on her own.  Her story is not one of struggle, but more of taking advantage of her husband.

In any event, we got the first post primary poll results for the governor's race today.  Abbott leads Davis by 12%.  Most likely, that will be close to the final outcome.  Davis and her phony story will go down to defeat.
