The Effect of Ron Paul on Bullion Prices

Yesterday, I presented a question, What effect would Ron Paul vs. Newt Gingrich have on precious metal prices if they were to win the 2012 presidential election?  Sorting through the comment field, I was reminded by PMBug who references HR1098.  While the macro picture may still require more research to understand the effects on precious metal prices and the corresponding presidential nominee, one thing remains certain...Fire up the Bandwagon and Let's get Ron Paul into the White House!!
