Can somebody explain to me why Republicans are so bent on tearing down Davis if she doesn't have a chance at winning? It seems like overkill in such situation where the state's partisan leanings make it very difficult for Davis to win, even narrowly.

And anything that James O'Keefe is involved in is a lie, because he fakes things.

Here's the big video

Real ominous. It doesn't even show any of Davis' staffers saying a word about anything, it's all outside people and what they are saying isn't even worth getting upset about.

The real problems for her are the mounting wheelchair gaffes.  That is Coakley level.  You don't tell your opponent that they don't understand struggle when they have been wheelchair-bound since age 26.  Why is she trying to look like more of a victim than someone who is paralyzed?  That's disgusting!  It's the kind of thing that could make a Republican in Texas lose.

What is with the victim thing? I didn't think elections were supposed to be about who is the bigger victim. I don't see any gaffes at all, her statements are about his positions on policy, which are not very down to earth when it comes to everyday people. I'm not seeing where Davis was trying to make herself a victim, but it seems as if Abbott is headed in that direction. In politics, you can't expect to not be criticized just because of a disability.
