Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis is getting help from none other than Ted Nugent. No he is not campaigning for her, he is campaigning for her opponent.

The "Nuge" and gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott.

Controversial 65-year-old rock star Ted Nugent is campaigning Tuesday with likely Texas GOP gubernatorial nominee Greg Abbott, the state's current attorney general who makes no apologies for inviting Nugent on the trail with him.

Democrats were quick to point to Nugent's outlandish comments, with likely Democratic gubernatorial nominee Wendy Davis calling Abbott's decision "repulsive."

But a senior Abbott aide admitted their campaign is only bringing on the gun rights activist to help spur voter turnout among the base, as the state begins early voting for the upcoming March 4 GOP primary.

The aide said the campaign originally had 100 people commit to their event Tuesday morning at a Denton restaurant, but when they announced Nugent was coming, the number of expected attendees tripled.

"On a Tuesday mid-morning at a local restaurant in Denton, Texas, that's a lot of people," the campaign aide said.

Sure, Ted Nugent can help attract a few hundred crazy people in Denton, Texas, but somehow I don't think that appeal works outside of 2nd Amendment gun nuts and 70's hair band aficionados.

However his presence does wonders for Wendy Davis who is presenting the grownup's version of a campaign.

Ted Nugent represents all that is wrong with the conservative party, and by associating with him perhaps he will help demonstrate everything wrong with Greg Abbott.

Who is he planning to bring in next to demonstrate his poor judgement and desire to pander to the wackos?
