A three-way fight:
"Rivalry is getting heated between Texas contenders
WASHINGTON - A Texas-sized rivalry is brewing in the Republican presidential contest.
Representative Ron Paul is calling Governor Rick Perry “Al Gore’s Texas cheerleader’’ for once working in support of the Democrat. Perry’s team, in turn, is branding Paul a turncoat for once leaving the GOP.

The two Texans, who never have been particularly close, have seen their standings in the GOP field recently rise. Paul, a libertarian-leaning Republican who has a strong legion of die-hard supporters and a big bank account, came within 152 votes of winning an important test vote in Iowa on the same day that Perry, who leads in several national polls, entered the race to great fanfare among the party’s conservative base.
Last week, Paul likened Perry to a “candidate of the week’’ and predicted Perry’s poll numbers would fall quickly once voters got to know him better. “Texas has had a lot of changes in these last eight years, not exactly positive either,’’ he said.
And Perry aides dug up and distributed Paul’s 1987 letter of resignation from the Republican Party.
In it, Paul wrote, “I want to totally disassociate myself from the policies that have given us unprecedented deficits, massive monetary inflation, indiscriminate military spending, an irrational and unconstitutional foreign policy, zooming foreign aid, the exaltation of international banking, and the attack on our personal liberties and privacy.’’
What's wrong with that? I've spent five years doing it on the blog.
