Rick Perry's in Europe.[/URL] If you're governor of Texas, it's probably best to stay close to home during hurricane season and when Ebola is spreading in your state. This week, Rick Perry is in Europe. The governor's absence comes as a second Ebola case has been diagnosed in Dallas, triggering a leadership test and opportunity to look presidential — or ineffectual — on the national stage as he contemplates a second White House bid.
