Is gold money? Some Republicans think it should be.
The Republican Party is considering setting up a commission to examine the
pros and cons of going back to the gold standard, according to draft
documents of the party platform.
The official party platform won't be decided until Monday, but a Republican
National Committee spokeswoman confirmed the draft language to CNNMoney.

LYNCHBURG, Va. — Texas Gov. Rick Perry is a man of faith, and one of the

an evangelist or as a job creator.
On the debate stage, Perry has done the latter. But he demonstrated
