WorldNet posted a scientific poll on impeachment July 6th done by the American Research Group that has 45% for impeaching Bush and 54% for impeaching Cheney:

The private American Research Group survey indicated 45 percent want the president impeached while 54 percent want the House to launch impeachment proceedings against Vice President Dick Cheney.

The breakdown of the 1,100 respondents, however, showed 38 percent were Democrats, 29 percent Republicans and 33 percent independents.

The poll indicated 69 percent of Democrats favored impeaching Bush while just 13 percent of Republicans showed support. Among independents, 50 percent wanted to impeach the president.

The study was based on telephone calls July 3-5. American Research Group said 933 of the people interviewed were registered voters.  

An unscientific MSNBC poll got 88% in favor of impeachment:

Looks like we have dueling surveys. 

And all this is a mute point as long as the Democrats have decided that impeachment is a "distraction" - read, they're going to work on winning the White House in '08 and not rock the boat.

However, here's where going long on the impeachment bet might pay off.  A LOT of people are pissed about the excess encroachment on our rights, the excess assertion of an imperial presidency, and the disregard for law in general.  Even conservatives.  I mean, do YOU want to hand off to a Democratic president the powers that Bush/Cheney have accumulated?

I think the Democrats have made a smart strategic choice but they may be forced by their grass roots to address some on these excesses.  For the sake of the Constitution and for future generations, it will be a crime if they don't. 

The Congress is on a collision course with the White House and, as facts emerge, impeachment may be demanded by so many they will have to respond.  As the Attorneygate story has shown, once you start tugging on one of these threads, all kinds of things come tumbling out. 

But, give me good odds and I'll take the bet now.

"President Bush has not committed any impeachable offenses -- none, nada, zilch.Stupid Dims in Congress like to think so, but that's only because they are stupid Dims and don't seem to know the Constitution."

I disagree. The Dems in Congress know there is nothing to impeach over, but they also know their constituency, like spaced-out cowboy, is clueless on the subject. So, they shamelessly pander to them, vaguely hinting at something they know they can't deliver, in the hopes that their blind followers will never figure it out. Spaced-out cowboy is proof that they're probably right.

The big problem for Katie Couric is that thanks to 24 hour cable news channels and the public Internet, the younger generation no longer relies on the network evening news to get the news--you can now even get breaking news in near real time even on your cellphone!

She clearly thinks presenting the news is boring. She wants to turn it into an early morning format. What she doesn't understand is that the audience is very different between morning and evening. And, she can't quite grasp the fact that she has 30 minutes (minus commercials) to inform, not entertain. The morning format won't work here.

Not that the evening format is working well, but she doesn's seem to want to understand her audience, the customer. If the customer doesn't want the product, you've got to change something. She wants to change the customers....

P-M,

Kutie Katie is delicious? Maybe - but what flavor?

Keith,

Great point. As I recall, the management at CBS stood behind Danny Blather, right up to the point when they threw his ass overboard.

Help Fred defeat the RINOs, along with the Hitllary-Obama Axis, & win the White House in '08.

Since no body will say anything nice about Katie, I will:  For an old broad she is still "do-able"......at least this week.
