Tx Gov Perry indicted by grand jury, which also indicted a ham sandwich as a possible co-conspirator.
I've never much liked Perry, but if the press reports are accurate (ha) the charges are bogus and won't stick.
My sense is Perry will fight instead of copping a deal. Will this knock him out of the presidential race, or somehow help him? I know something about what it's like to have false charges derail a political career.

update 8/23: everybody seems to agree with me that the charges against perry won't ultimately prevail.
However, in cases like this, the prosecution itself is the punishment.
