“A genuine leader” … “The clear choice” … “A more thoughtful governor”
Amarillo Globe-News: “Abbott Best Reflects Texas Values”
- “Voters choosing the next governor of the state of Texas have a simple question to ponder: Which of the two major party candidates best reflects their values and beliefs related to government? The answer is Greg Abbott — the Texas Attorney General and GOP gubernatorial candidate. … Abbott is a proven conservative, with experience as the state’s top attorney and member of the Texas Supreme Court. … Voters need to realize that a Davis governorship would be far more reflective of the current administration in Washington, D.C., than state government in Texas. In that regard, Abbott is the clear choice.”

- “It’s a simple matter really. Greg Abbott is the gubernatorial candidate who will be able to keep the state’s economy on the right track and address education and crime issues. Texas is currently a shining star in the United States, with a booming economy and unprecedented growth. We believe Abbott is mostly likely to sustain that growth through business-friendly policies. … We find Abbott to be a genuine leader who we suspect will govern well and inspire legislative progress.”

- “Governor: Greg Abbott, Republican. While we disagree with Abbott on many issues, we believe he will prove to be a more thoughtful governor than Texas had in Gov. Rick Perry. Because both houses of the Legislature will be firmly controlled by Republicans, he also will be more effective as governor than Democrat Wendy Davis could hope to be. Despite her strong record as a legislator, Davis has not been impressive on the campaign trail, leaving us with the impression she’d struggle to move the state forward.”
