And on Monday, Hutchison's campaign aides said Perry's letter to Clinton, when she was first lady, showed that he was a hypocrite in making the videotape.
"I think your efforts in trying to reform the nation's health care system are most commendable," Perry said. At the time, some critics were describing the then-first lady's plan of government-sponsored HMOs and health care cooperatives as socialism.
Saenz said there is no comparison between Perry writing a letter on behalf of his constituents in 1993 and Hutchison accepting praise in person from "a rather liberal New York senator."
Perry was state agriculture commissioner at the time, a position he had won in 1990 after switching from the Democratic to the Republican Party. He asked Clinton to take special notice of the health care needs of farmers, ranchers and people in rural areas as she tried to overhaul national health care.
Clinton's efforts at health care reform failed. Perry has since described her plan as "a government-run, one-size-fits-all health system."
