The 10,000 Dollar Bet

At a recent GOP (What makes that party so grand, any way?) debate Mitt Romney offered a 10,000 dollar bet to Rick Perry. 
The Huffington Post states:

"Mitt Romney is tired of hearing about the change made to his book that touts Massachusetts' CommonWealth Care as a "model for the nation." But Rick Perry keeps bringing it up. So Romney proposed a $10,000 wager -- perhaps unprecedented in presidential debates, although we'll wait for Gingrich to provide the historical background.Romney asked the Texas governor if he'd wager $10,000 to settle a dispute over his healthcare record and where he stood on the individual mandate."
