Dan Froomkin over at
WaPo has an interesting take on the lack of coverage on this astounding poll result.
25% of Republicans support impeachment if found that President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq.

Froomkin notes that only three news outlets made mention of the poll (released last Thursday) including a Washington Post associate:
Shailagh Murray of The Washington Post made the poll results the third item in the paper's Sunday politics column: "Even the pollster couldn't believe his eyes. 'It was much higher than I expected,' John Zogby said of the 42 percent. . . .
"By comparison, in October 1998, as the House moved to impeach President Bill Clinton over the Monica S. Lewinsky scandal, a Zogby poll found that 39 percent of voters supported the House action, while 56 percent opposed it. . .
[Emphasis Added - mine]
Zogby
(poll) site, while it is every encouraging that 25% of Republicans would agree on impeachment, why is it that more Republicans can't support impeaching a president for lying and deliberately misleading a country to war?? Awwww, the hypocrisy of their party.
As you may know, Tom Delay twisted arms (coerced, bribed, etc.) to get that impeachment against Clinton. I wonder if Dems , like Reid, could do the same to get their entire party and some GOP moderates to cave.
