wsj on impeachment

* the wsj has an article about impeachment called "Impeachment Proves Risky Political Issue -
Some Democratic Activists Push Removing Bush From Office, But Mainstream Steers Clear"

They mention two of our polls. i'd suggest that, by itself, makes the $10,000 well-spent. thanks again to everyone who contributed to that. what i don't understand is why the WSJ thinks it's acceptable to mention those two polls now, but no-one would touch them when we first commissioned the polls? Remarkably (given the previous response by the media), the WSJ didn't even dispute the poll's contingent clause 'if he lied about war' - and they compare that directly with Clinton's 'if he lied about sex' - I guess that indicates that nobody even doubts the Bush lied about war any more - which is pretty amazing.

I also don't understand this:
"But Mr. Trupiano's pledge hasn't much impressed Democratic Party leaders, who are keeping their distance from impeachment talk. They remember how the effort boomeranged on Republicans in the 1998 midterm elections, when Mr. Clinton's adversaries expected to gain House seats but lost ground instead."
the Clinton impeachment was a transparent witchhunt about a blow-job of a president with approval ratings in the 60s. Bush is deservedly hated by 60% of the population and is an incompetent war-criminal.

i love the graphic
