Perhaps you've seen the heartbreaking video of Richard Martinez, father of one of the victims of last week's killing rampage in Isla Vista, California.

If you haven't, or wish to refresh your memory, click here.

Inevitably, someone will get the idea that this grieving father (or someone like him) should run for office. While my heart breaks for him, I'd never vote for him, and it has nothing to do with which side the issue he falls on. I want my representatives to be objective - able to address the most serious issues in a level, rational way. A strong personal axe to grind is the LAST thing we need in a politician.

Your thoughts welcome...
