Actor Mike Farrell, a long-time death penalty opponent, representing Death Penalty Focus, calls on California Gov. Arnold Schwarzengger and the state leadership to suspend all executions Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2005, during a rally at the City of West Hollywood, Calif. Three men on California's death row face imminent execution dates: Stanley Tookie Williams, Dec. 13, 2005; Clarence Ray Allen, Jan. 17, 2006; and Michael Angelo Morales, March 2006. The City of West Hollywood affirmed its commitment to abolition of capital punishment Wednesday by joining the Fourth Annual World Day of Cities Against Death Penalty. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
Arnold's a fool if he thinks anything positive (including self preservation) will result from clemency.
A political risk for not granting clemency?

Arnold knows conservatives have basically abandoned him and his only prayer at re-election is to curry favor with the left. His recent hiring of a left-wing extremist as his new chief of staff and the strong possibility of clemency for this murderer are his first two moves to the left. If I lived in California I'd encourage Tom McClintock to oppose the socialist from Austria for the Repub nomination.
a second-rate actor, and second-rate thinker.
