Should Davis Run for Statewide Office in Texas?

Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D) “is never going to see a better moment for a statewide run for office, even though the odds of a Democrat winning statewide in Texas could not be worse,” the Texas Tribune reports.

“She would almost certainly lose.”

“There are always more reasons not to run than to run. But she has emerged as the predominant voice on an issue that pits the party in power against the party out of power. She has a sea of orange shirts behind her, and the Republicans are clearly very, very irritated by her presence on the stage. They’re also irritated that their own officeholders are largely responsible for the attention she’s getting.”
