Davis ad uses wheelchair to criticize foe. Madana Kloss 4th period


         Wendy Davis is attacking her partially paralyzed Republican opponent Greg Abbott in the Texas governor's race -- with an ad that features an empty wheelchair.
"A tree fell on Greg Abbott. He sued and got millions. Since then, he's spent his career working against other victims," a narrator says of the wheelchair-bound Abbott.
The spot is a Hail Mary from the Democratic state senator who is badly trailing in the race. Abbott led Davis 54% to 40% in a recent CBS/New York Times/YouGov poll, and there are few signs she's likely to close that gap before the November 4 election.




        Yes, this ad may be a bit of a Hail Mary for Davis who is trailing in the race for Governor of Texas.But to put the ad in some context, it attacks wheelchair-bound state Attorney General Greg Abbott for hypocrisy because, after suing and winning a large reward for the accident that caused his partial paralysis, he has opposed similar litigation as the state's top cop, as noted by the Washington Post.
Being patially paralyzed does not give you a free pass on things such as hypocrisy when you are running for the top position in a state IMO.
