Note to Karl Rove: Use the Death Penalty Card--it's a litmus test

Did you know that John F. Kerry opposes the death penalty? I didn't until a few days ago. It's true. Check it out at the NY Times. Now, I may not know much about how to run an election and all that, but will somebody please tell Karl "Goebbels" Rove about this. Cause where I'm sitting, not a single one of my 'moderate' friends would vote for a guy who opposed the death penalty. NONE. This is the a litmus test for most people. A guy who doesn't support the death penalty is a liberal to us here in flyover country. More than that, soccer-moms, housewives, blue-collar workers, every one but a bunch of coastal elites all think the same thing. THIS IS THE ISSUE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAMMERING ON FOR THE PAST MONTH. It's not too late Mr. Rove. Please come up with one more ad. You could have won 45 states had you done so earlier.
