The issue also highlights what former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has dubbed "crony capitalism" - how big contributors and longtime friends of the Texas governor have been named to key state positions and won important policy victories in Rick Perry's Texas.

Perry's former chief of staff, Mike Toomey, was a lobbyist for Merck, the manufacturer of the drug Gardasil, the vaccine that Perry sought to require for girls. Perry brought more attention to the millions of dollars he raised for his own campaigns and for the Republican Governors Association by stating at Monday's debate that he was "offended" by Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann's suggestion that he "could be bought for $5,000," the amount of a direct contribution from Merck's political action committee to Perry's 2006 re-election campaign.

His ad lib opened him up to a withering counterattack from Bachmann. "Well, I'm offended for all the little girls and the parents that didn't have a choice," the mother of three retorted.
