Why did Wendy Davis lose? Ebola.
At least according to her communications director Zac Petkanas, who was quoted in the Wall Street Journal saying that Ebola was one of the challenges Davis had to deal with.
Zac Petkanas, a spokesman for the Davis campaign, chalked up the loss to the national Republican wave that swept over the midterm elections. “The losses that you are seeing in very blue states are simply amplified in states like Texas where there is already a structural advantage for Republicans,” he said. Another challenge, he said, was that Texas was at the center of two issues — immigration and the Ebola scare — that helped drive Republican voters to the polls.
Whatever dulls the pain.
