Wendy Davis TX on Rachel

... the story started out with her office being firebombed by a deranged homeless man. But when Rachel told Davis's story, I must say Texas has another Democrat to be damned proud of. This woman puts the repub meme of "pulling yourself up by your bootstaps" to shame. Hope to hear more from this champion of womans health rights.

...blown away by this Lady's message. But it is more fitting that I step aside and let Texas women Dems sing her praises. Molly Ivans would be damn proud.
