DMN is reporting that more than two dozen of Perry's big donors have switched to Hutchison during the last six months. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/legislature/stories/DN-govmoney_16tex.ART.State.Edition1.4bc51b9.html. Adding insult to injury, some of the donors are Perry appointees:
"Ned Holmes of Houston, a Perry appointee to the Texas Transportation Commission, gave $77,000 to Hutchison, campaign finance reports released Wednesday show. Robert Rowling of Dallas, who gave $100,000 to Hutchison, was on the University of Texas Board of Regents, and Charles Tate of Houston, also a $100,000 giver to Hutchison, used to be on Perry's Council for Science and Biotechnology."
The DMN article goes on to explain this Texas showdown is dividing families and individuals. In some cases, husbands and wives are supporting different candidates. In other cases, individuals have donated to both Perry and Hutchison.
It's a good thing there's plenty of $$ in this state....
