zogby promised

as you know, ive been grumpy at zogby for not asking the impeachment question - but they have promised to ask it again in september - perhaps it works to our favour that rather than seeing incremental increases in that number over time, we might jump from 40% to 50 or 55% in one step - the newsworthy-ness will be indisputable. (altho hopefully zogby asks a different , more direct, question than last time)

the first time zogby asked that question it was kind of treated as a bit of an olbermann-only-oddity - and when zogby chickened out and didnt repeat the question (as promised), it disappeared under the radar (despite my best efforts). we need to hold zogby's feet to the fire here and make sure that a) he asks the question and b) it gets the requisite attention. (natalie - i might need your help here (and thanks for your recent tci emails))

ftr - zogby emailed me and said: "We'll skip the summer and get back to it in September." - ive just sent a reply email "will you be asking this question early in September?" - i dont want to be an ass, but i want to let them know that someone is watching, and waiting.

(ftr - one of the reasons that i wanna keep their feet to the fire is that when i sent them the original emails, it seemed to cause some consternation (although i cant be sure) - i wont bother telling the story here, now, but my sense is that they are nervous about this question for one reason or other. and its tempting to think that they are nervous because of some presuure from the egadministration - and if the egadmin is nervous, then lets shine the light on em.

and if my speculation is completely unfounded, then so be it, but id still love to see zogby ask these questions, and id really really love to see the answers.
