Candidate Comparison: Sun setting on Texas gubernatorial duel

AUSTIN, Texas (Legal Newsline) – The only blue found in Texas state offices these days is the dye on Lone Star flags hovering over Republican-occupied desks – and with more than $30 million in reserves, chances are state Attorney General Greg Abbott will ensure the governor’s mansion stays red for another four years.

Not that state Sen. Wendy Davis, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, hasn’t been busy, raising more than $6.8 million in the last three months, according to the latest round of campaign finance reports. But with only $5 million left in her war chest, Davis continues to trail financially and in the polls heading into the final week of the election cycle.
