AUSTIN, Texas -- As Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison head toward an epic primary showdown in the race to be Texas governor, the two haven’t been able to agree on much lately.

But even in their agreement, the campaigns found a way to keep the debate heated.

“After years of deficits, earmarks and bailouts, this is yet another example of the federal government offering a program it can’t pay for,” Miner said, taking a jab a the federal government and, by proxy, Hutchison.

Hutchison’s campaign criticized Perry for opposing a federal program that’s almost identical to a state program he signed into law eight years ago.
