The Death Penalty wedge issue.
What's Kerry's record on the death penalty? He's against it, right?

Well, remember Dukakis' death penalty question?

I think Bush oughta get a death penalty question. "Mr. Bush, do you support the idea of public beheadings like your Saudi friends do?"

1. Kerry has already had to deal with it in the primaries.
He's against it except in cases of terrorism.

I don't know if it will ever be brought up. Kerry should talk about his religious convinctions and WWJD aspects of being against the death penalty--it could play well, or at least numb it as a wedge issue.
