Hutchison takes step toward run for governorU.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison took the first formal step Thursday toward a run for Texas governor, setting up what could be a bruising Republican primary battle in 2010 between her and Gov. Rick Perry. Hutchison released a statement that she's setting up a gubernatorial exploratory committee and transferring $1 million into it from her federal account. Perry has already said he's in the race, so the moves could trigger a tough campaign for the GOP nomination. In a written statement, Hutchison took several swipes at Perry, saying there's "too much bitterness, too much anger, too little trust, too little consensus and too much infighting" in Austin.
