With three days left of early voting and facing her worst polling numbers yet, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis ramped up the pace on Wednesday, campaigning in six cities across the state – from Fort Worth to Laredo – while her Republican opponent, Attorney General Greg Abbott, appeared with U.S. Sen. John Cornyn at the Fort Worth Stockyards in Davis’ home city and later in San Antonio.

And while the day saw much of the same on the campaign trail, the Abbott camp brought a new issue into the mix, attacking Davis for opposing legislation five years ago that stiffened penalties for the theft of livestock animals – a vote her spokesman defended.
