Davis signs memoirs, Abbott files ethics complaint

[TexasTowelie]

AUSTIN — State Sen. Wendy Davis signed book after book at an Austin store, the line of admirers snaking up two flights of stairs to see the famous legislator.

Davis, the Fort Worth Democrat who is running for governor against Republican Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, was promoting her new memoir, "Forgetting to Be Afraid."

Davis' tour drew fire from Abbott's campaign. Abbott's campaign manager filed an ethics complaint arguing that Davis used campaign money as part of book promotion. Specifically, the complaint talked about Davis traveling to New York Sept. 9-10 to promote her book. That trip included a campaign stop and was paid for by political contributions.

Davis' campaign called the complaint "frivolous."

1. He's just jealous.

3. And he shows how he brings nothing to the people of Texas as he rolls uphill in a garage to

body build as his ideal of contribution to democratic representation.

Abbott's values are way off the mark to be a governor, in my opinion. Maybe he should start a physical training business and be his own manager.

4. (After clicking the post my reply button, this blue underlined wording appeared. I did not do this

I have written several posts to the Administrators about advertisers covering DU texts. Now hackers may have gotten so bold as to insert ads in the DU software. Don't know if they have permission or not.) Is anybody reading this seeing or experiencing a link? It could be a virus. Conservatives hate progressive thinkers. DO NOT Click on any bold blue capitalized letters in my reply post. Sorry.)

5. I don't see any links in your posts.

If I see any in the future I'll PM you.

2. Abbott is a bad candidate

Abbott expected to be handed the GOP nomination and not to have to work for it. Wendy is the first serious challenger to the GOP in a while and she is doing things that they were not expecting like registering voters and this book tour

6. Why didn't he file a complaint over Perry's "Fed Up" book?
