The fact that the administration is speaking up on this subject tells me that they are pretty sure that Perry’s going to run and they’re planning on using this issue for political purposes.
It might energize the brain-dead democRAT base, but most sane people are in favor of taking this murderous rapist out of the gene pool forever.
Apparently, Governor Perry did proceed with the Medelliín execution. From Wikipedia:
“Medellín was executed at 9:57pm on August 5, 2008 after his last-minute appeals were rejected by the Supreme Court. Governor Rick Perry rejected calls from Mexico and Washington, D.C. to delay the execution, citing the torture, rape and strangulation of two teenage girls in Houston 15 years ago as just cause for the death penalty.”
