Why did governor charge at party honcho in ugly public spat?

A CERTAIN HIGH-PROFILE, first-term governor who has supposedly built his brand on loudly opposing the broad-based government is suddenly the talk of town. During a recent gathering, it is reported that the governor dramatically confronted one of his own party’s top guns, allegedly charging at the bigwig like a man ready for round one of a political boxing match. His grievance? That he had purportedly been conveniently left out of the party’s latest awards ceremony, and he wanted answers with the urgency of a man denied his rightful trophy.

What was once a tight, united outfit is now wobbling under the weight of bruised egos and flying tempers.
