Ask Obama, anti Death penalty stalwart, if he opposes Death for terrorists. That should be his Mike Dukakis moment.
Found this back on 10/16/06 about some of Barack's views. Not that it was a secret, I knew he was pretty liberal from his run against Alan Keyes, but he's really liberal. More liberal than Hillary even. I believe he was in the Denver area yesterday talking about what we (Dems and Repubs) have in common--at least that's the soundbite they played on local radio. I will dare to say I have very few political issues in common with Obama and his wife.

Barack Obama as a lawmaker has opposed the death penalty and pushed through legislation requiring that any questioning and confession in capital cases be videotaped to prevent deception and coercion. He also authored legislation requiring police to keep records of the race of everyone questioned, detained or arrested. These rules to deter racial profiling, say critics, lead to “de-policing.” To avoid charges of racism if they question or arrest too many minority suspects, police find it easier to protect their careers by turning a blind eye and leaving minority criminals alone.
Obama favors racial preferences for select minorities in both the business world and academia. A strong supporter of gun control, he has proposed banning all civilian semi-automatic weapons. He is strongly pro-abortion, including the partial-birth abortion procedure many regard as infanticide. He is a proponent of socialized medicine.
