This is NOT the official website for Wendy Davis for Governor. But welcome to our discussion! We will cover the good, the bad and the things that amuse us about her campaign and those that run against her.

I don't think there will be an official web site until she formally announces. I first called her Senate campaign office and they directed me to the number above which is for her governor campaign. The person at that number was the one that told me I could donate to her Senate campaign and the funds would be available for her gubernatorial race and he also gave me the URL for the first link. If anyone has further questions they can call that number.

The number was given by her Senate office (which can't talk donations due to ethics rules). The number traces to her Senate campaign office. The question I specifically asked was if I donate to her Senate campaign will those funds automatically transfer when and if she runs for Governor. The answer was yes. I wouldn't expect them to commit any more than that given that she hasn't formally announced.

If you look at the timing of this thing it makes perfect sense. The quarterly campaign filing has to be made in October. The announcement is coincident with that.

Sources reporting to CBS say she's running for governor.

Sources reporting to Politico say she's running for governor.

Sources reporting to AP say she's running for governor.

Her tweet today said:
A week from today, I'm announcing something big. Can you chip in now to show the strength of our grassroots network?

However, it's not as if it's from some blog site that found it written on a shithouse wall. It comes from multiple mainstream media outlets which are reporting that the sources they are using are in the inside. So it gives all the appearances of a deliberate leak from the campaign, which is not at all unusual for these things. You also have Wendy Davis herself all but spilling the beans on this.

If Wendy is telling me to send her money, I'm going to send her money. Other people may want to wait till next week, but I'd be extremely surprised if she bows out. There's too many people standing behind her. I plan on going down to Haltom City next week and hearing her say it in person. This is a huge thing for Texas and I have a feeling that this is the beginning of the end for the GOP.

She may not even be running for governor.

If you were going to make a major political announcement like this, would you drop that on the press cold, or would you leak it a week in advance and give all the major news outlets a chance to send down their big names for the press conference? You don't hype bad news a week in advance.

Keep in mind also that her Senate seat was gerrymandered and she stands little hope of getting reelected, so everything is falling into place for her gubernatorial run. Money has already been pouring in from in and out of state. She already has almost a million as of the last filing and that was back in June.

The writing was on the wall for that well before she announced. I don't believe that's the same situation here.

I'm just so happy to have someone at last to vote for!
