A blatantly obvious attempt to distance herself from her rabid support for late-term abortions (not exactly a popular stance in Texas):
Friend –
I just had a great meeting with my friend Wendy Davis here in San Antonio.
We talked about job creation and economic empowerment for all Texans — and I left reminded of her extraordinary determination to make Texas even better than it already is.
If you caught Wendy’s announcement speech last week, you saw why she’s been able to inspire so many people, both here in Texas and across the country. I’m going to do everything I can between now and next November to make sure she gets to the Governor’s Mansion.
Show Senator Davis she’s not taking on this challenge alone — add your name to say you’re with Wendy for governor in 2014.
Wendy is fearless.
She overcame a background of poverty to put herself through Harvard law school.
She once stood for hours to filibuster a bill that would have resulted in billions of dollars in cuts to public education for our kids. […]
Join me and say you’re with Wendy:

In this together,

NRO‘s Jim Geraghty notes this a shameless lie:
. . . Castro (or the staffer who wrote this) is just flat-out lying. Davis made a one-hour-and-fifteen minute filibuster in 2011 about public education spending. The only time she stood for “hours” was in her 2013 filibuster to stop a bill that would ”ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, require abortion clinics to meet the same standards that hospital-style surgical centers do, and mandate that a doctor who performs abortions have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.”
