Wendy Davis Says Texas Not a Red State

Big Government reports:
Texas gubernatorial hopeful and Democratic State Senator Wendy Davis asserted on Thursday in an interview with statesman.com, “Texas is not really a red state, it’s just a non-voting state.”

Davis, who gained notoriety for her 11-hour filibuster against a bill that would have banned late term abortions, may be engaged in wishful thinking rather than admitting the facts about Texas. Since 1994, Republicans have won all of Texas's 29 statewide offices, giving the state the longest streak of single-party dominance in the country.

These statewide offices include governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state comptroller, land commissioner, and agriculture commissioner, three seats on the Texas Railroad Commission–which oversees the energy sector–and nine seats each on the Texas Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals. It bears repeating: not one Democrat has won any of these seats in twenty years.
A Democrat hasn't one statewide in America's second biggest state and the liberal media tells us the Republicans are in trouble.
