"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.
ObamaCares 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 wouldnt miss it.
Reid actually isnt 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 isnt ducking Obama at all. Shell 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 Clintons speech and a dinner at the LBJ summit."
You show`em Wendy!

(18,318 posts)1) Abbott seems afraid of Davis;
2) He sees poll data he doesn't like.

(574 posts)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.
