Governor’s Race Exposes Republican Rift in Texas

[elleng]

The battle shaping up in the Texas Republican Party over whether (Perry) deserves another four years mirrors the larger conflict between the Republicans’ moderate and conservative wings on the national level, strategists say.

“This is a civil war,” Mr. Perry said in an interview, “brother against brother.”

3. Sounds like fireworks!

There is NOTHING that most politicians hate more than to be challenged or defeated by their own party.

If Perry loses, will he found his own 'Texas for Perry' party a la Lieberman?

Will Bush get involved?

Any chance that a Dem could win because of this row, or is Texas irretrievably far right Bushland?

4. Remember Ann Richards?
