Unlike the feeble attempt to compare Romney's judge appointment with Dukakis' Willie Horton release, this truly IS analogous only worse.
A Missouri mother says she will do "whatever it takes" to stop former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee from becoming president, because he freed the man who went on to rape and murder her daughter, Carol Sue Shields (pictured).
"I can't imagine anybody wanting somebody like that running the country," Lois Davidson of Adrian, Mo., told the Blotter on ABCNews.com.
Wayne Dumond was initially sentenced to life plus 25 years for raping a 17-year-old Arkansas high school cheerleader. In 1999, a parole board voted to free Dumond, after then-Gov. Mike Huckabee announced his desire to see him released.
It's within the perview of every Governor to overrule a jury verdict by commutation, pardon or in this case "lobbying" the parole board. He better, however, make damn sure those actions are totally defensible and justified. I see no compelling evidence in this case that would indicate it was.
