4. So what are you advocating? Capitulation at this point?

I showed up and voted for Wendy Davis yesterday. Perhaps even more importantly at this point, I cast a vote against a LaRouche radical, disguised as a Democrat, running for a position in the U.S. Senate. There will be a runoff, but she got half the votes of a respectable, for-real Democratic senatorial candidate.

That Abbott out-polled Davis yesterday is not "scary news"; it's to be expected. So what? Texas Democrats have known all along that we have our work cut out for us. So what's with this "blowing money/flapping her gums" bullshit you're spewing on a Democratic talk site? Explain yourself.

I hope the foregoing is enough reaction for you.
