Comments on The Endorsement of a Lifetime

We won't support flip-flopping NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November!!!

This post should really point out that Obama is not against the death penalty and actually worked to expand its application in Illinois. Not exactly a friend of those on death row.

@2: This is why mentally disabled people's political commentary should be taken with a grain of salt. Or better yet, as is the case with @1, ignored.

Ironies abound.

The killer is serving a life sentence -- having been tried separately, not having been mentally ill, and not having requested the death penalty (in a bout of deeper-than-usual depression).

Um, the term "re-defeat" implies that he lost, which he didn't (not that I should dignify this idiocy with a response, apologies for feeding the particularly stupid troll).

Mississippi goddamn.

Dominic,
Weird all around. It's already been said but Sen. Obama is pro Capital Punishment. In fact, he's to the right of me on it (I support CP). He supports the Death Penalty for child rape too (I don't). Evidently, that inmate didn't get it.

You sounded sexy on NPR today, Dom. Talkin' about all those zoning restrictions and stuff.
HAWT!

"upholding convictions is exorbitantly expensive,"

I wonder why that is? maybe the automatic appeals? I wonder how many wrongly convicted people would like an opportunity to appeal, (with the risk of losing) or would prefer to just be forgotten to "to rot in prison"

Sure the stories of people on death row being found innocent make the news, but what gave the impetus for the sometime extraordinary investigations that resulted in the finding? could it be the impending execution?

@8 is right. Smokin hawt.
