From the 30 June 2013 edition of ABC's This Week:

JEFF ZELENY: Why did you decide to wear your running shoes? And let's take a look at those. They kind of have been rocketing around the – the Internet.

STATE SEN WENDY DAVIS, (D), TEXAS: They've gained a fame all their own-

ZELENY: Wow....

ZELENY: As the filibuster was going on, you were receiving a lot of support from places and people far away from Texas – you know, from movie stars, from the President....

ZELENY: The front page of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram is featuring the back and forth with Governor Perry and you. He has made this very personal against you.

GOV. RICK PERRY, (R), TEXAS (from speech at National Right To Life convention): ...It's just unfortunate that she hasn't learned from her own example.

ZELENY: Is that offensive?...

ZELENY: Will you have to filibuster again?

DAVIS: I don't know that we'll have that opportunity again. But I can tell you this: we are up for the fight.

ZELENY: Are you going to put these shoes on again or-

DAVIS: If I have to, I will – most certainly.
