Sorry, Mitt, but the Bay State is too liberal to ever bring back capital punishment. Paul Cellucci discovered this a few years back:

It’ll be a valiant effort…but in this state, it’ll be a losing one.

I know someone who was at that spectacle if a hearing the other day. While the governor and lieutenant governor tried to lay out their points, they had to fight through a monsoon of empty, thoughtless vitriol from gubernatorial candidate Deval Patrick and the likes of Sen. Wilkerson and Rep. Marie St. Le Fleur, throughing around the usual profiling nonsense (which is one of the many things that the governor’s proposal is designed to avert). He is fighting a losing battle. But it is a battle he still needs to fight. If he doesn’t stand up and push these initiatives–like the death penalty and a rollback of the income tax rate to 5%–then no one will. Maybe someday, others will arise to carry the flag, but at least the governor is stepping forward to put the flag in the ground.
