Wendy Davis for Governor, update
In the day and a half since we launched our Wendy Davis for Governor draft campaign, we have collectively gathered 13,500 signatures in support while nearly 800 of you have raised $22,000 for the effort.
She's already said she's open to running if she can get wide support, Gov. Rick Perry is attacking her as if she's already his gubernatorial opponent, and her shoes have become an internet sensation.
Davis has been doing this sort of thing for a long time. The Daily Show saluted her efforts, and really, if you haven't watched the video at the top of this post, do so.
And if Wendy Davis hasn't gotten enough attention, Perry just gifted her with a second shot of national attention by calling for a new special session next week to try and pass his abortion restrictions. Davis took most people by surprise this week. That won't be the case next week.
