Wendy Davis may possibly run for Governor of Texas for the Democrat party. She is best known for her extreme filibuster which prevented the passage of an anti-abortion bill. Although, if she did run, she'd be a long shot in such a republican state.

Not really. Texas has becoming more increasingly Democratic with the surge of Hispanic immigrants moving in. The big cities are still relatively Democratic as always while the suburbs/rural still Republican. We could see a change that could eventually affect the national elections (with Texas being a possible state up for grabs like Ohio).

I think a woman could win, but not a democrat. A lot of the speculation is that she would cause the Republicans to have to spend more money on Texas and less on neighbouring states.

I think it has less to do with her being female, and more to do with her being a Democrat.

Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann would probably win easily.

Having said that, several Democrat-friendly media have reported in the months since the presidential election that there is an observable shift towards the Democrats in Texas. It will take several years, but by 2020 we may be seeing a contested Texas.

She has raised a good amount of money rather quickly, but she really doesn't have a chance considering the state...the smarter move for her if she wanted to elevate her status would likely be to find a favorable congressional district and move to the federal level.

This. A moderately attractive woman who is outrageously conservative and doesn't come across as being too smart (i.e., not knowing her place) could win very easily.

A run for the governorship on true liberal values, even though it has no chance in hell of winning Texas, would skyrocket her to national prominence and be good for the state and the nation. As she doesn't have a hope in hell she wouldn't need to compromise on issues and could run on things she believes, and in two years time contest a congressional or senate seat with a massive profile and war chest.

You could be right, I just happen to think a solid win in a Congerssional seat combined with her profile right now would mean she would be a high profile newcomer to the Hill which she could then use to elevate herself...but really I just hate the idea of losing even if it is in the long term interests :P

Nothing wrong with it, but I'd prefer for her to use her prominance in a way other than being a martyr.

Fair enough. Although lots of people say you need to fail before you can succeed.

People who are straight out successful usually have other issues to contend with.

It would be funny for a female to win Texas and then admit that she lied to voters and was actually just a transvestite.
