First, I dont think you could draft articles of impeachment, pass those, and then conduct a trial in the Senate in 2 hours or so.
Second, Cheney will be Acting President, since Bush is removing himself from office temporarily, but will regain power once he sends a second letter to Congress.
Here at the "most politically active campus" in DC, our college dems were recently suspended by student activities for failing to disclose finances properly. wonderful.
I was at the protest, and thought it was great, though I believe that it should have been limited to Iraq, without getting into the "Israeli Occupation of Palestine."
Moving towards impeachement of Bush and Cheney would just look like a coup d'etat by the Democrats. During Watergate, the Democratic Speaker of the House maintained that he would not push for impeachment of Nixon until a VP was appointed, since the country voted for Republican rule in '72. I know that the Democrats won this year, but it is a better idea to propose a constructive agenda, let Bush reject it, and then run on it again in 2008.
The Democrats should deal with this issue immediately after taking control in January, right as college students and their parents are figuring out how to pay for the spring semester.
I was at a Democratic event in CT a week before the primary, and I saw Lt. Gov. Kevin Sullivan leave in a car like that, and I think the liscense plate said "2", so it might be his car.
The Jewish vote in CT is probably going to Lamont, because of the war, and Lieberman's closeness to Bush and the GOP. Though he has been a kind of a golden boy in the Jewish Community here since he was the first to get to the level of Vice Presidential nominee (and technically won).
I saw a new ad this morning, with Lieberman speaking directly at the camera, speaking about healthcare, the minimum wage, and several other issues, though ignoring the big one: Iraq. I don't think it will make much of a difference. His ads are rather standard campaign ads, while Lamont has had different, innovative ads.

I agree wholeheartedly. Look at Senators Webb and Tester, along with many House Democrats, and the Hackett campaigns, especially the Senate race.
it only counts your top candidate still in the running, and since obama and edwards last the whole time (last i checked), it wont make a difference.
I agree for the most part, Obama hasn't really addressed anything, and his Liebermanesque call for more bipartisanship is somewhat tired.

yea, didn't RFK only jump into the race after McCarthy almost beat LBJ in the primary?

Lieberman exits the race tonight, backing Lamont, as he should.
DeStefano beats Malloy for the Dem. Gubernatorial Nomination.
