The Texas state senator who made headlines with her nearly 13-hour filibuster against a strict abortion bill earlier this year has decided to run for governor in 2014, sources confirm to Fox News.




Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, intends to file her paperwork for the race Wednesday or Thursday of next week, the sources say.

The 50-year-old mother of two’s filibuster at the Texas Capitol temporarily blocked new statewide abortion restrictions from being passed in June.

The abortion bill, which was eventually signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry, requires doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, allow abortions only in surgical centers, limits where and when women may take abortion-inducing pills and ban abortions after 20 weeks.

Davis’ filibuster drew hundreds of supporters to the Texas state capitol and won her pro-choice admirers nationwide. She even drew a mention from President Obama's campaign Twitter account.

No other Texas Democrats have entered the governor's race. Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott announced his candidacy this summer and is the early favorite to succeed Gov. Rick Perry.

Perry is not seeking re-election after 14 years in office.

She's got no chance. Political consultants are predicting that Greg Abbott will win heavily against her. She's running in a Republican state when Democrats are loathed and she is running against the most popular elected official in Texas and one of the most popular Attorney General's in the country.

I love when he said he wakes up, goes to the office and sues Barry Obama then goes home for the day LMFAO! Go Abbott!!!!!!!!

I hope he wins. We don't need any more liberals in charge.

She's got no chance. Kinky Friedman will beat her in the primaries.
Friedman/Davis ticket?

it IS Texas after all

she probably isn't nutty enough,,, best to have another someone working against the President at any cost as opposed to working FOR the citizens,,,,

liberal mindset... they are trying to do what they think/lie is best, just like your liar in chief...

yes, they think its best to try to run out a president rather than build up a country,,,

I totally agree,,,,

oh please... liberals were doing the same thing to bush... don't cry about it now...

really? they had outbursts during his national addresses?

they stated publicly their FIRST priority was running him out of office?

they boasted about their entirety of their job being to come into office to sue 'Jr' and going home?

I must have missed all that

They never tied debt limits to policies which lost them the general election either

Wasn't LBJ from Texas?

"Wasn't LBJ from Texas?"

yes, and he had Kennedy killed.

I've met Kinky a few times. He is actually a cool guy. His politics are largely "tongue and cheek" and would probably do a better job than most in office. He gave me some of his guitar picks.

When the douchebag President is destroying the country, yes I would rather have someone work against the traitor.

There were quite a few people involved with that, not just LBJ.

I love how the Looney Left posters repeat the exact SAME talking points over and over again because they don't have anything else to fall back on.

It is hard, actually damn near impossible to defend a POS criminal like Barry, but they constantly do.

Si.

there are 'quite a few people' in our government, not just the President

and this president has only opposed the bills presented by CONGRESS Twice,,, Congress has been allowed to run things as they choose, and pin the President when things are going wrong,,,,

lol... and a good president wouldn't allow that to happen...
