Are the polls getting closer here, or are people already assuming this will be a cakewalk for Abbot?

The polls have only gotten more distant.

Sanchez also had the drug money allegations regarding the Tesoro Savings & Loan Scandal, which Perry exploited very masterfully.

Plus it didn't help that Sanchez wasted $76 million of his own money in a hopeless campaign for the Texas Governor's Mansion. I don't even think the Democratic Governors Association even raised $$$ for him either.

Houston Chronicle and other newspapers reported it.

Castro might run in 2018 against Abbott.

There's also going to be pressure on some Dems to give Cruz a run for his $$$ in the U.S. Senate race.

Since being sworn in as Senator, Cruz has visited Iowa more than he's visited the Rio Grande Valley. He's in for a run for his money period.

Did y'all hear about outgoing Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson (R) slamming outgoing Governor Rick Perry (R) in an email, referring him as a "West Coast Metrosexual" ?

Just scroll down and click the article when y'all find it.

It really says something when someone as conservative as Jerry Patterson has decided the RPT is a bunch of right-wing nutjobs.

Why is no one polling Texas? The last poll showed a 12 point deficit, which seems shockingly low to me.

Because the deficits are getting bigger in size, not smaller.

If he invites them and they troll, maybe we can get him banned for bringing them here.

He's not going to win by 30. That would be on par with George W. Bush's 1998 reelection performance.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Abbott 55 / Davis 43 / Glass/Other 2.

I guess horrible predictions must run in the family.

UT President Bill Powers to step down in June 2015, 5 months after Perry leaves the Texas Governor's Mansion on January 20, 2015.

Abbott will outperform Romney in Texas. Enough said.

It seems that Davis has run a pretty terrible campaign. I hope that Van de Putte can win in her race, although I haven't heard much from her campaign or Patrick's campaign.

Patrick and Van de Putte are even in the $$$ fundraising race for Lieutenant Governor.

The other statewide offices such as State AG, Comptroller, Land Commissioner, Agriculture Commissioner, Railroad Commissioner and the judicial statewide offices: I haven't seen any fundraising reports from those down ballot statewide contests.

Abbott will win by 15%. Davis' career is basically done

57-42 or so is pretty likely, yeah.  Not sure if I'd agree that Davis' career is done, though, she could easily find herself appointed to some bs position as a sop to Texas Democratic donors by Obama or a potential Clinton Administration.

The Border Security debate have increased his popularity as he's on his way out of the TX Governor's Mansion.

One big question is will Abbott out-perform Perry in November, considering Perry won by 13 points over White in '10 (55-42) ?
