For Republicans in the state of Texas, tonight's BCS championship game will turn political during the broadcast. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R), who is running a hotly contested race for governor against incumbent Rick Perry, will run a TV ad during the Texas vs. Alabama game attacking Perry, and featuring a banner that reads, "Hook Em Horns!"; Perry shot back today with a Crimson-Tide-themed web ad accusing Hutchison of supporting out-of-state earmarks (something any "yes" vote on a spending bill with earmarks would signify) for Alabama. (Ads after the jump.)
