    Texas Governor Perry answers questions from the media after taking an aerial tour over the fertilizer plant explosion site in West, Texas in this file photo

    Texas Governor Rick Perry answers questions from the media after taking an aerial tour over the fertilizer plant explosion site in West, Texas, in this file photo from April 19, 2013. In Texas, Republicans have at least two potential White House contenders - Perry and Senator Ted Cruz. Similar situations occur in Wisconsin and Florida, and for the Democrats in New York. The unusual number of states with multiple potential candidates poses a particular challenge for party operatives looking for hints about who might emerge by early 2014 as leading contenders for the White House. Strategists say it creates a dynamic that could shape the early stages of the 2016 campaign, and alter the notion that a candidate can�t seriously contend for the presidency without overwhelming support in his or her home state.
