Leading Off: ' TX-04: The Campaign for Primary Accountability is now committing a non-trivial amount of money to defeat turncoat GOP Rep. Ralph Hall in his primary. Over the weekend, they filed a $100K IE report with the FEC for mail, TV and radio buys against the incumbent, who switched parties in 2004 at the filing deadline. The TV spot hits Hall on a litany of tea party sins (voting to increase the debt, supporting earmarks, voting for the "wasteful" Cash for Clunkers program, etc.), and also makes a quick dig about his age. Hall faces two challengers in his primary: Steve Clark, a wealthy former telecom executive whom Hall beat by a 57-30 margin in 2010 (and who only very recently revved up his campaign) and auto racing parts company owner Lou Gigliotti.
