(14,449 posts)Wendy has plenty of time to raise another 18 million before the election. She can do it. Abbot only has 30 million and has been a candidate much longer then Wendy. She is going to be fine. Abbot and Wendy will each have 30 million by the time this race gets in full swing.

(112,417 posts)The Davis campaign has a broader campaign votes that make more modest contributions than Abbott's base. That translates to more voters.
I must admit that the political picture is much more humorous since I've installed Stop Tony Meow on my computer and I don't have to look at Abbott in most of his photo ops.
