The good news: Rick Perry is not going to run for Governor again.
The bad news: Progressive darling and TX State Sentaor Wendy Davis still loses against the other likely Republican candidate for Governor, Attorney General Greg Abbot.
PPP (July 2, 2013)
Abbot 48
Davis 40
MOE 4.4%
The Ugly News: According to that same PPP poll, Davis is the best candidate against Abbot that the Democrats have.
Abbot 48
Castro 34
Abbot 50
Parker 31
Abbot 48
White 36
If I were a lord high muckity muck of the Texas Democratic Party, I would put my full weight behind Wendy Davis. It's not going to turn Texas blue, or even put the Democrats back in charge of statewide offices or the legislature. But she's the emotional favorite, and as of the latest PPP poll, she's the real, best chance they have to make a dent.
