The day after former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's presidential campaign unveiled a harsh web video that criticized Texas Gov. Rick Perry for his public speaking skills, Perry's campaign hit back with its own video focusing on Romney's support for government-mandated health care and for once hiring a landscaping company that employed illegal immigrants.

While Perry and Romney have never been the best of friends, tension between the two appears to be higher than ever.

At a Republican presidential debate Tuesday in Las Vegas, Nevada, Perry went after Romney for hiring on the landscaping company, a charge that provoked the most heated exchange between them yet this election cycle.
