How far reaching is his power to pardon—i.e. can he throw the prison doors to huge crowds of “his people” who have been convicted of rape and murder?

Only at the federal level. He cannot pardon people found guilty of rape and murder in the state courts and in state prisons. Those prisoners can only be pardoned by state governors I believe

If he loses big time with the electoral vote and EC vote, he will need a Krey super computer to keep track of all the pardons he will issue.

Then he will need another one to keep track of all the Executive Orders issued to harm this country and serve as fiscal time bombs for President Romney.

Think bigger. He could "pardon" all illegal aliens in one fell swoop.

I seriously look for him to pardon himself. He’s set so many records and firsts, why not one more. Besides, no other occupier of the Oval Office has done that. His overall pardons list will be an interesting read. Look for Holder’s name to be there front and center.
