The Alpha Male

Liberal Jonathan Chait, writing for The New Republic, about the GOP debate at the Reagan library and the conflict there between Romney and Perry:
In my view, Perry established his alpha male style, and that impression will matter more than any position or statement he’s made.
Intending to demean, Chait is nevertheless right. Our president needs to be an alpha. President Obama is a beta, maybe a beta minus, and it just doesn't work.

Columnist Don Surber of the Charleston, WV, Daily Mail calls this a rare "presidential moment." A hat tip to Don and to Lucianne.com.
