Wednesday's GOP presidential debate at the Reagan Library featured plenty of questions, statements and jabs aimed at the Lone Star State and its two homegrown candidates, frontrunner Gov. Rick Perry, and Libertarian-leaning U.S. Congressman Ron Paul, R-Surfside. So, from that perspective, we've condensed some of the best Texas tidbits from the 105-minute debate into a seven-minute mash-up.
