I didn't vote for Tim Kaine four years ago, mostly because I tend not to vote for Democrats, in part because Kaine is anti-death penalty and I figured he would issue blanket clemency to everybody on death row.

So I need to applaud his decision to not let Beltway sniper off the hook. Muhammad is the poster child for someone deserving execution and it's nice to see that Kaine - as he promised during the campaign, a promise I didn't believe - isn't going to let his personal opposition to the death penalty stand in the way of justice.
