U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey pushing to score Texas Sen. Wendy Davis a speaking role at 2016 DNC

Want to know how deep Wendymania has gotten?

Consider that Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth, is pushing to get Sen. Wendy Davis a speaking role at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

“I think she should be the keynote speaker,” Veasey said Friday during a telephone interview. “She deserves a speaking role at our next convention and I’m going to work with the DNC to make sure that happens.”

Wow.

Having Wendy as keynote for 2016 would be amazing, sort of Ann deja vu in a way.
If she manages to get elected Governor all the better.
