Yeah, I was just thinking of the ironic head-splodo that would occur if he actually WERE elected, then had to sign off on an execution order.

Having ones death-warrant approved by "Pro Life" would seem to provide an opportunity for a decent last guffaw, no?

Then when the screwed-up, drug-addled child reaches maturity and commits a capital crime, then the pro-lifer says: "OK! Now kill him!"
