Ron Paul and 'The Gipper Ticker' Redux
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- At the first GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Library earlier this month, not surprisingly, the former president's name was invoked frequently -- nearly 20times. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani topped the Gipper Ticker saying the name a total of 5 times. Texas Rep. Ron Paul was the only White House hopeful to restrain from uttering the former president's name. But not tonight. Paul swept the evening, invoking the former president three times, while Sam Brownback and Tommy Thompson each mentioned Reagan once. -- CNN's Cody Combs and Alex Wellen
