Since when is any specific point of view on abortion of all things deemed mandatory for this or any other position within our government? Since when is it acceptable behaviour from our elected government officials to throw a hissy fit and go out of their way to belittle and ostracize a colleague by refusing to work with Nader her? The head of a committee has been appointed, as per the rules and customs associated with these things and our government ought to have a much better excuse than their dislike of the official candidate before they go changing the rules after the fact to better suit their position. This isn't high school and we don't change the rules just because the cool kids don't like working under them.
