re: Impeachment talk from WH is effort to get blacks out this fall IMHO

quote:

---

Immediately after Clinton was impeached his popularity/approval rose to 76%.

Gallup had Clinton's highest ever at 73%, which was in fact right after he was impeached. But it was at 66% 2 weeks before he was impeached, and at 65% in the days before he went on national television and admitted he had lied about good ol' Monica. It dropped down to 62% right after his confession, but was back up to 66% just 3 weeks later. In other words, Clinton was riding a wave both before and after the entire Lewinsky thing even surfaced, unlike the current president's situation.

That said, I'm entirely against any Republican even saying the word impeachment. It's a lose-lose proposition for them. In fact, lately I have heard more Dems and MSNBC and CNN hosts say the word far more often than Republicans. And that's not just happenstance ...
