Well, if you thought the Wendy Davis gubernatorial campaign, which has devolved into a clown show, couldn’t get any worse; you should brace yourselves. She had this tweet featuring a bunch of eager young Davis supporters, but there’s only one problem. It was actually a group of volunteers for the College Republican Federation of Virginia who posed for a photo after knocking on doors for Ed Gillespie, the GOP senate hopeful in the Old Dominion.

— College Republicans (@CRNC) October 22, 2014Hey, Wendy Davis. Those supporters of yours sure do look familiar. Is that the smell of desperation? Yes. Yes it is. http://t.co/Oik89NuIgU

— Alex Smith (@AlexandraCSmith) October 22, 2014My colleague Christine Rousselle recently asked if the floundering Texas Democrat had the worst Twitter campaign of all time. This comes after she attacked her Republican opponent, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, on Twitter about interracial marriage, despite him having a Hispanic wife.
Greg Abbott won't say whether he'd defend an interracial marriage ban—troubling but not surprising from someone who defends a "poll tax."
— Wendy Davis (@WendyDavisTexas) October 20, 2014In general, the Davis campaign has been launching various kamikaze attacks as the 2014 election cycle comes to a close. She launched a rather egregious attack ad against Abbott that featured a wheelchair; Abbott was left paralyzed from the waist down when a tree fell on him while jogging in the mid-1980s.

If this is in your ad, and your opponent is in a wheelchair, you have probably made a mistake. pic.twitter.com/gXHPVdEQ5h

So sincerely embarrassed for Wendy Davis' campaign team right now. Who is calling the shots over there? Just awful. pic.twitter.com/SZnR8tHQOj
