Texas voters already tired of Greg Abbott and Wendy Davis dueling in television ads with Election Day still six weeks out should brace for plenty more.
Figures released Wednesday show Texas trailing only Pennsylvania in political TV ad spending this election year, flooding airwaves with an estimated $38.6 million spent so far.
The governor's race between Attorney General Abbott and state Sen. Davis accounts for only a third of that spending -- but that will surely change as Nov. 4 draws closer.
Davis has spent slightly more on TV so far but Abbott is positioned to dominate airwaves down the stretch.
The governor's campaign has not been the most expensive. That goes to the Republican primary for lieutenant governor between Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and challenger Sen. Dan Patrick.
