In the first few days of his presidential launch, we saw all the reasons why Texas Gov. Rick Perry could be a formidable candidate. He delivered a stellar announcement speech in South Carolina that served both as an indictment of President Obama’s economic policies and an argument for his own. He then traveled to New Hampshire, and on to Waterloo, Iowa where, by all accounts, he outshined Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., in her birth town, by working the room like a natural.
Perry’s greatest asset is his confident, loose, freewheeling style, but as we saw yesterday, it’s also a liability.
