"He's going to get clemency. There's no way he's going to get on television with this kind of news if it's going to make his supporters unhappy... Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm guessing he would have made the decision, informed the warden, and released a simple statement to the press if the execution is going to go through..."

I'm thinking he is going to piss people off either way so he will do what is right - if he is pro-death penalty then this is a case that really calls for death -I'm betting no clemency.

I hope you are right. If he doesnt give clemency, than i am glad he delayed his decision. Less time to appeal to US Supreme Court. Unfortunatly, I think he is going to give clemency for this same reason. If his mind was made earlier and it was to reject clemency, he would have made this public to allow 1 last chance at appeal. Perhaps this political novice will impress us but I am not counting on it.
