but the other night I was thinking about her and assumed it was gov she was running for. But I was like she should run for senate. I'm glad for her this is good news. I really like her and I was hoping Texas would share her with the nation and not just keep her in Texas as gov when maybe she could be prez one day.

But it was about coming out for the announcement tomorrow, and go to the Wendy Davis for Senate site.

Now you have me wondering.

probably a lot more useful to Texas as a governor.

I'm a New Yorker and out of this, but like seeing a smart, activist Dem in office anywhere.
