Amanda Marcotte who seems to be getting dumber by the day, stirred up a hornet’s nest with piece at Slate.com about Wendy Davis. The premise of the article is that Davis didn’t just lose an election, she set back the cause of Texas Democrats as a whole.
Last year Wendy Davis was a star. Now she's made things worse for Democrats in Texas: http://t.co/aaZ3eTwFl1 pic.twitter.com/Oq3Dg1INnu

The cult of Wendy was not very receptive to this concept.
@Slate UGHHHHHHHHH STOP IT. SHE'S A WOMAN WHO IS ADVOCATING FOR OTHER WOMEN'S RIGHT'S TO HAVE AN ABORTION, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

@Slate let's stop the charade that there was hope for dems in Texas. It's not fair to blame her for killing something that wasn't real.

.@Slate Well, maybe Democrats will take a page from FDR and run as progressives all the way now.

@Slate Media is largely responsible for confusion that led voters to want Dems policies but choose R's for gov. This article is example.

@Slate @morgfair I'm sorry – but I think this is a pathetic article – and we've not seen the last of Wendy.
