"Speaking to reporters, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said "we have taken impeachment off the table."

Is this an admission that the Dims don't anticipate winning either the House or the Senate? Looks like Pelosi and crowd realize that a majority of voters don't support their far-left impeachment ideas.

I see it as being two things:

1. Pelosi/Dean/Reid see impeachment as not being popular among independent voters and are removing this as an option so as to assure those voters that they are reasonable.

2. If Pelosi says that they are moving impeachment "off the table", that means that there were seriously considering it if they won control in both houses.

The latter is the first admission from any leadership figures that impeachment was a considered option. Sure the idea had been bandied about by people like John Conyers and Dennis Kucinich - but never by the leaders in either house. And that's a chance (as I see it it) from their previous claims that impeachment was never an option.

Precisely, they don't make a move without a poll, so this tells me their own polls don't support impeachment.

Which is logical, unlike what the press normally tells us.

SUUURE they havent.

They must have seen focus group data showing impeachment is a turn off for voters.

I predict that if they do take control..they will suddenly see some mysteriously leakedm document and change their minds.
