Look at it like this, even if she doesn't have a chance, she is more competent and intelligent that any challengers Republicans have put up in blue states.
Ummm....no. Rauner and Foley come to mind, though they are doing well because of their opponents' unpopularity.
Davis will lose by a Bill White margin which is par for the course in Texas.
Rauner talked about eliminated the minimum wage, not a smart thing to say in a state like Illinois. Foley lost in a banner Republican year, and there is no guarantee he'll win year.
