Davis would be a great candidate for Governor but that would mean potentially losing her senate seat

Bad News is that since Dewhurst and the other pubs did not allow SJR 2 and SB 23 to get ahead of the filibuster, we are probably gonna have to do this again when Perry calls yet another special session.

He is not a woman!
Isn't it time he got a primary opponent! Like a woman!
