I don't see how this would do anything but help Perry's presidential hopes (unless he's convicted which is not going to happen). To me it seems like the Obama suit / impeachment. Both Obama and Perry may have overstepped their authority, but its something that everyone does and a pretty minor abuse of power.
Also, Perry looks pretty good in what he did. He used his power to try to get a pretty bad person to resign. Compare that to the accusations against Christie who may have used his power to settle a personal score. Perry can say he was acting in the best interest of Texans. I bet a pretty decent majority of people agree that she should have resigned and what Perry did was ok (especially among republicans and potential primary voters).
