Editor's note: Friendswood Republican Chris Peden is a blogger for KHOU.com at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Shelley Sekula Gibbs and Pete Olson have found very little to agree, especially when it comes to who is best to be the Republican nominee for the 22nd Congressional District. The two runoff candidates for the nomination squared off again in a debate, this time in Clear Lake.
