It's nice to see the junior Senator finally acknowledge what many of us have known for some time: There's a problem with the death penalty. Ask Ray Krone.

Talk is just the first step. His actions from this point forward will determine if this is a true revelation or if it is a mere political ploy to placate moderates who are concerned about the death penalty and who might vote for Bob Casey on other issues. (Casey is brutal on the death penalty. And he's Catholic, too.)
