Dueling Houston donors take feud to presidential campaign

Fliers distributed at the Texas Republican convention last month depict Democrat Steve Mostyn in a menacing sketch, asking why he's trying to "infiltrate" their party. A companion website, largely financed by rival Bob Perry, warns of Mostyn's "invisible hand" in state politics.

Mostyn associates are returning fire. One of his employees runs a website that features a mugshot-style photo of Perry, with the claim that he's the one taking over Texas politics.

It sounds like routine, political mudslinging. It isn't, and here's the odd part: They aren't candidates; they're wealthy donors who have given millions to state lawmakers.
