Wendy Davis Omits Democrat Affiliation in Ad

Democrat Wendy Davis, the Texas state Senator who is running for governor, avoided her party label in a four-minute thirty-second campaign ad that introduces herself to voters statewide. 

Davis became a mainstream media darling after she filibustered for the right for women to have late-term abortions in unsafe abortion clinics, but she has been reluctant to tout the support of her new allies to Texans in a statewide election. 

As even the Los Angeles Times observed after seeing the advertisement:

Let us review:

— Field of bluebonnets? Check.

— Rippling Lone Star flag? Check.

— Hand-tooled cowboy boots? Check.

— Chugging oil well? Check.

What’s missing in the four-minute-30-second spot? Any mention of Davis’ party affiliation, to wit, her affiliation with the Democratic Party.
