Tricky Ricky Perry loses big-dollar donors

A number of the Texas gov’s former deep-pockets supporters haven’t just abandoned him, they’ve switched to Kay Bailey Hutchison.

And, it’s making for some intra-family wars, with splits between big family names like Mosbachers and Basses.

I figured Tricky Ricky’s taunts earlier this week about wondering if Kay would even run fell into the “methinks he doth protest too much” category.

Oh, and I think Kay’s onto something when she said that Tricky Ricky was violating at least the spirit, if not the letter, of the election code on ixnay on collecting funds while the Lege was in session. There’s no way he raised his money that fast.
