Republican Ally Says Wendy Davis' Bio Wouldn't Be An Issue If She Were A ManIf this involved a man running for office, none of this would ever come up, Haskins told the Star-Telegram.
Its so sad. Every time I ran, somebody said I needed to be home with my kids. Nobody ever talks about men being responsible parents.
They wouldnt be talking about Wendy if she werent a threat," she added.

(19,558 posts)They just couldn't keep their woman haters quiet and a lot of women learned where they stood with them. As a result women voted en mass, and not for Romney. Things tend to work a bit differently on a state level, but they're still taking a risk by attacking things in Wendy they'd praise in a man. Women tend to be smarter than the GOP give us credit for.

Texas is already blue, its people just don't know it.
