I'm not a Texan, but I fully remember Wendy Davis' heroic 11-hour filibuster against an anti-abortion bill that would've killed women en masse. You can read excellent transcripts (starting with part 1) of it over at Ana Mardoll's, if you like:

After the national profile Wendy Davis received from her successful filibuster, the governor candidacy rumors began to build momentum. The only thing left to really know was whether she would accept it.

Yeppie! I know it's probably too early/pretentious to say this, but I just see Wendy as a beacon of hope not just for American politicians, but for America's democracy itself. So, if she does actually run, I'll be a staunch supporter from Georgia! WOOOO!
