here's what it means.
do you remember wendy davis?
wendy davis is a democratic
state senator from ft. worth,
texas.
she is expected next month to
announce she is running for
governor of texas.
and, of course, it is an uphill
battle for any democrat to wage
a statewide political fight in
texas, even now as texas is
trending more purple and
democrats are making strong
efforts there.
it's going to be tough for her
to win that race.
the reason that wendy davis is
thought to have a better chance
than any other democrat in texas
is in part because of her
national profile.
and wendy davis' national
profile was built, largely, on
this.
these are her awesome pinkish
mizuno sneakers, which
apparently started selling very,
very well in online retail sales
after wendy davis wore them for
13 hours, while she held court
and filibustered in the texas
state legislature.
the rules in texas for this kind
of thing are really strict.
not only can you not sit down
and not stop talking, you can't
lean on...
