Plus, every Dem up until O'Malley has become pro-death penalty once they've run for president. Hillary, Obama, Gore, Bill Clinton all were pro-death penalty. They were afraid of looking weak on crime. I like that O'Malley is still proudly against the death penalty even in the case of the Boston bomber. Shows that he has convictions and principles that he puts above electability.
