National Dems are abandoning Wendy Davis's campaign to be Texas governor, devoting money to more realistic races.
The fiesty blonde whose filibuster over abortion rights got national attention has had trouble in her own state.
Bummer. I was hoping for more national money to be spent on a hopeless cause.
Wendy is upset that she had been abandoned. Right call?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
All of this makes sense, of course. Texas is an expensive place to campaign, and the odds against Wendy Davis are quite high. In the meantime, there are races in Florida, Michigan, Pennslyania, and Maine where incumbent Republicans are trailing their Democratic challengers in the polls and are at least competitive in Ohio and Wisconsin. Spending money on a Texas race that will likely go Republican anyway would be a waste of time.
