Hey, remember Bridgegate? That looked, and looks, pretty bad, right? Even though Christie's still standing and the investigation is probably dead, it's going to taint his career for a while. Because 1) he made the lives of citizens intentionally worse, 2) he did for his own selfish gain, and 3) he did it hidden well away from the public eye. Rick Perry, meanwhile, 1) was only targeting a politician who committed a serious crime, 2) he gave a reason that he can at least make a case for to the general public, and 3) he did it out in the open instead of skulking around. None of that has anything to do with whether his methods were legal (at least I think it doesn't, I'm not a lawyer), but I don't really see this affecting his support or popularity without either serious jail time (not likely) or some major new revelations.
