DescriptionThe Austin American Statesman and Houston Chronicle are reporting today that a major factor leading to the failure of Rick Perry's presidential campaign was friction between its two very different teams: the "loyalists" like Rob Johnson and Dave Carney, who had worked with Perry throughout much of his 12 years in Texas politics, and the "nationally known veterans," one of whom was former G.W. campaign manager Joe Allbaugh.

Known as "the human sledgehammer," Allbaugh was brought on in October to "deal with the growing pains" of the campaign. And the problems seem to have begun almost immediately, kind of like when the Seaver family let Leonardo DiCaprio move in during the final season.
