8. But 100% is not needed. That is a faux statistical meme.

If Wendy Davis, someone 38% of the public in last weeks poll in Texas did not know, is just
-11 to 50%,
then only 11% of the 38 (which means only 3 in 11 need to vote for her

it also means if the republican only has 53, only -3 of those 53 need to switch

at which point the republican is under 50, and anyone can win

Negativity killed the cat is how the old slogan went I think.

Never say never

Just do it.

I am sure 100% of every democratic supporter wants a democratic governor.

And BTW- Ann Richards, was a major Bill Clinton supporter.
And Ann Richards was highly popular in Texas
Therefore Texas will highly vote for Hillary Clinton.
