Successful impeachment would be a disaster.

Cmon people. Think through this before you call for impeachment.

A dem controlled house would never impeach Bush...NEVER

If successfully impeached by the House. And successfully convicted by the Senate. It would mean we get Cheney for president. Mum no thanks.

Scheming for a twofer? It would be viewed as a democratic vendetta. and there would be backlash. considerable backlash. But lets say the stars are aligned and kismet happens. Nancy Pelosi would become president. Is that what we want? Really?

Nancy Pelosi leading the charge to indict Bush and Cheney in order to ascend to the Presidency herself? She would be the least popular president in all of history and completely ineffective.

Principled impeachment or not. I want to win in 2008 in a landslide as a national repudiation of the NeoCon agenda. We win the house back and Bush is completely emasculated anyway.

If Pelosi were the heir apparent we would likely lose in the Fall of 2008. SHe would be swift-boated to a far greater degree than HRC.

No thanks.
