It seems like the GOP was just wringing their hands and clucking their tongues last week about a low blow against Dan Patrick. Was that just last week?!
I think they got a little upset about it, got more determined that it was going to propel Patrick to victory, too. Didn't they say that?
How many votes do they think this tactic switched from Davis to Abbott? And how many new Republican voters do they think they recruited?
By contrast, how many more Democrats -- in Texas, California, and elsewhere -- are going to write a check to Davis, or make some phone calls, maybe even pitch in on a voter registration drive or a block walk, and then get their sisters and daughters and granddaughters to the poll in November? When otherwise they might not?
This might be a good thing. And not for Greg Abbott. So I kinda hope he ignores the calls to denounce this artist and this supporter and does his usual thing: clam up, hide from the media, wait for the storm to blow over -- like Ted Nugent and Charles Murray and CPRIT and all the rest, in other words.
Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend, and don't get too sunburned, singe your fingers on the barbecue grill, or get overheated talking about this development with your neighbors. You know, the ones who don't usually vote.
Update: The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon also has a few things you can do.

A poster depicting Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis as “Abortion Barbie” was unveiled in Los Angeles on Thursday in advance of her Hollywood fundraiser and bankrolled by a conservative Midland woman.
Kathryn Stuard told the San Antonio Express-News she donated an undisclosed amount to conservative street artist “Sabo” to create the posters, which portray Davis' face over a semi-naked Barbie doll with an exposed fetus in the womb.
The posters say: “Hollywood welcomes Abortion Barbie Wendy Davis” and have large pair of scissors next to the doll.

Davis is in Hollywood for a fundraiser hosted by celebrities such as director Steven Spielberg in Southern California.
