Things are gettin' real in that Texas gubernatorial race.

Attorney General Greg Abbott (R) has now responded to Wendy Davis's so-called "empty wheelchair" ad with an ad of his own. It's basically a bunch of headlines and pundits who ripping the spot with some ominous music -- just in case it was hard to tell that this is bad, bad, bad. And yes, even The Fix (the blog, not the man) makes an appearance, as do the words "hail mary" and "lost cause."

The ad closes by calling Davis "unfit to be governor."

For his part, Abbott had this to say about the ad: "My reaction is if she wants to attack a guy in a wheelchair, that's her prerogative," he said on "Hannity." "As for me, I'm running a different type of campaign."
