Governor, if Kitty Dukakis were raped and murdered, would you favor an irrevocable death penalty for the killer?

Governor Romney's glacial response to a wheelchair bound man's plea for medical marijuana is the most damning since Governor Dukakis lost seven percent of his support overnight following the October 13, 1988 debate.* Many Americans oppose the death penalty but Americans are electing a man (or a woman) as much as they are electing a policy or a platform.

Mitt Romney will never be President of the United States.

* His reliance on attorneys to let him know if as President he could defend the United States, the free world and liberty was also a sign of a serious problem. By contrast, Senator Thompson's smack-down of Christopher Matthews was most satisfying and Mayor Giuliani's zinger about Canadian health care was spot on.

Alas, no Republican currently running will ever be President of the United States.

The Democrats will continue to twist the knife on issues wherein parading out middle-class ragamuffins constitutes the bulk of their argument.

There is no defense against the ragamuffin.

Except perhaps... other ragamuffins?
