Sounds Like Wendy Davis Will Run for Governor

Wendy on Chris Hayes' MSNBC show just now.. Talked about "test of endurance" in Texas filibuster last night, most notably i anticipating GOP points of order and trying to avoid them. Says she did feel disrespect and condescension from colleagues, but "nothing new." Mainly men who wanted to "intrude" on rights of women, "starkly."

Gov.Perry' and Lt. Gov Dewhurst "have led the charge in breakdown of decorum" and changed rules that bill could pass by simple majority. Senate rules "became meaningless." They "ran roughshod over the rules" and "they are going to do it again." Those in gallery observed decorum until they could "no longer take it" when saw presiding officer's behavior. Became "the pepople's filbuster"and she's proud--what democracy all about.

Asked if she would run for governor, she said she wouldn't lie and can't deny she has had aspirations to run for state office--but will enthusiasm from last night "hold"? If it does, "indications are that will be the case"--that is, she'd run for governor, I presume. But those in other states need to take up "the fight." People do appreciate "when you take a tough stand."
