More sparks in final debate between Abbott, Davis

DALLAS (AP) — Ebola, ethics and education dominated the final debate between Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott and Democrat Wendy Davis on Thursday night before Texas voters choose one of them as their first new governor in 14 years.

Fallout from a new scathing audit of how Republican Gov. Rick Perry awarded a half-billion in taxpayer dollars to private businesses made this a livelier and looser debate than the first one earlier this month. With Election Day only 35 days away, Davis must now hope her performance closes the gap in the polls.
