Wendy Davis Links GOP Opponent To 'Boats 'N Hoes' PAC

Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis's campaign is attacking her Republican opponent for his connections to a political action committee called the "Boats 'N Hoes" political action committee.

"The language used by Greg Abbott's consultants is offensive to every Texas mother and daughter —and the men who love them— and has no place in politics," Davis spokeswoman Rebecca Acuña said according to The San Antonio Express-News on Thursday.

As TPM noted earlier on Thursday, the consultants behind the Boats 'N Hoes dissolved the PAC after Texas politicians said its name was "offensive." The PAC was created Shaun Nowacki, the bookkeeper for Blackmore and Associates, a Republican consulting firm that lists Attorney General Greg Abbott, Davis' GOP opponent, as a client from 1991 to 2004.

The attack seems to have slightly put the Abbott campaign on the defensive. Abbott's campaign tried to create some space from the PAC.

I'm still shocked any PAC would have chosen such a name. I hope she exploits the fools for all they're worth!

I can only speculate it is a pathetic attempt to garner some "cred" with a younger target audience. It's a common saying in various circles.
