While no politician is unbeatable, state senators may be as close to that as it gets in Texas.

In the last four years, only one of 25 state senators pursuing re-election in Texas did not win. Most coasted to victory.

That’s why political observers are so intrigued by the race shaping up in Senate District 10, where Republican Sen. Kim Brimer of Fort Worth is running for a second term against Democrat Wendy Davis, a former Fort Worth City councilwoman.

Even before Brimer sued last week trying to knock Davis off the ballot, a host of factors had already turned the matchup into one of the most closely watched in the state.

"The demographics are widely believed to be shifting in that district," said Harvey Kronberg, who publishes the online Quorum Report for Austin insiders.

"You combine name ID with the shifting demographics, and it looks very competitive."

1. Not "may" but will.

Brimer knows he's in trouble as a do nothing Senator with ethical problems running against a great candidate like Wendy Davis with a track record.
