(3,891 posts)36. There aren't any polls that show Wendy winning.
None.
The Davis Campaign is recognizing this. http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/wendy-davis-campaign-manager-karin-johanson-replaced
In perhaps a last-ditch effort to turn her campaign around, Wendy Davis is replacing her campaign manager, as her poll numbers sink and election day nears.
The Texas Senator and gubernatorial candidate, who is in an uphill battle against Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott, informed the media Wednesday that her campaign manager Karin Johanson has been replaced with Texas political veteran, Chris Turner.

I live in Georgia. A solidly red state. I'd love it if Jason Carter won the Governorship. I'd love it if Michelle Nunn won the Senate. But I know this is a Red State, and I know that the odds are unlikely. Possible but not likely. Deal looks like a Bridge Troll, and when he smiles for the campaign pictures it looks like it is truly painful. But the state is what the state is. I think we have a slightly better, but by no means good, chance to take the Senate Seat here in Georgia. I think we have a slim chance to win the Governors race, and the polling is much closer than in Texas.
I'm sorry, I wish I could give you better news. But we can't let hope of a miracle guide us as a party. Because if the Senate goes red, then we all suffer for the next two years, and probably much more. If Texas and Georgia remain red, then we are stuck with the jackasses, but the nation as a whole is doing better.
