There has been lots of coverage in Politico on the charges against New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie and members of his staff. About Texas Democratic state Senator and governor candidate Wendy Davis, not so much. In case you missed it, the Dallas Morning News published a story by reporter Wayne Slater on Saturday that pointed out discrepancies between the stories Davis has told about her past and the facts. She got her first divorce, it turns out, not at 19 as she repeatedly said and even testified in federal court, but at 21. She went on to graduate from Texas Christian University and Harvard Law School, but she paid for the latter with help from her second husband. Then, on the day after he paid off her final loan, she walked out on the marriage and agreed that he would get custody of their 14-year-old daughter. My Washington Examiner colleague Ashe Schow linked to the story in a blog post Monday, complete with that information.

Davis gained national fame for her 11-hour filibuster of a bill that banned abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and imposed more stringent health and safety standards on abortion clinics. For this she was hailed as a heroine by abortion rights proponents across the country — even though some fetuses can survive outside the womb at 20 months and even though most pro-choicers support more stringent health and safety standards on just about every other business. She launched a candidacy for governor and has raised some $11 million — about the same as the favorite, Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott.
