16. I'm Rooting For A Wendy Davis Win, I'd Vote Democratic Even If I Thought She'd Lose

I'm rooting for a Wendy Davis win in November. The odds don't look good, the national and local pundits are trashing Wendy's chances, and you know something? I don't care.

For better or worse, I'm a Texas resident. I was born here. I've lived here for over 55 years. I believe that we Texans (white as well as brown, Afro-American, or Asian) are better people than the sorts who vote for people like Gregg Abbott and Rick Perry. I believe we deserve better representation and we deserve better government than we'd get from a Rick Perry copycat and the Teabaggers.

I strongly opposed the sort of sorry governance we're getting from the increasingly-radical Texas Republican Party. I feel obliged to vote for Wendy Davis. We may indeed lose, but I couldn't stand to look at myself if I laid back, said "It's hopeless" and--*did nothing*.
