If we want impeachment to be successful in the House, get a conviction in the Senate, and make the MSM's collective heads spin, we must wait for a democrat to initiate impeachment. I believe that will happen once democrats realize that Obama is so toxic that the "party of Obama" will be kept out of power for a generation. And that democrats can get redemption from the voters only by taking care of the problem themselves. If violating the War Powers Act is what the democrats use as an excuse to impeach, that is as good as any other reason. But what they would really be doing is fixing their mistake and increasing their chances to keep power in 2012. It won't take many more "bad" polls or stupid comments from Obama to get someone like Kucinich going.
If impeachment is driven by republicans, there will be deafening support of Obama against those ra-a-a-a-cist republicans. If impeachment is driven by democrats, there will be enough republican votes to both impeach and convict, and the press will support it.
Good points. But don’t forget that Biden will become president if Obama is impeached and convicted. So if they want to have any chance of winning in 2012, they’ll have to tell Biden not to even consider running. Look for some Democrat to hint that he/she is considering running for president.
