Lord Vader, I was on a Platform Committee once, and I vowed I would never do it again.  Take a look at the platform on abortion, and you'll understand why.  We were up until four in the morning arguing about it way too many times.
I would love for Paul or Cruz to make that point, but I'm not a part of their campaign staff.  And, I'm a little uncomfortable politicizing tragedies like this.  I know Democrats don't have any problem doing that, but I'm not a Democrat.
Onward and upward,
