If the websites listed on Yahoo! are universally anti-Clinton, where are the representatives of the 66% we hear
support the President?
Rick, my original point was that Clinton "supporters" (that is, the people who feel the President should be allowed to stay in office) tend, in the mass, to be rather laid-back people, whose support of the President is on the lukewarm side. In other words, although they do not approve of the President's conduct, they don't think it is bad enough to warrant impeachment. They don't feel strongly enough about it to mount an all-out, no-holds-barred campaign.
The anti-Clinton "fanatics", however, do.
I use the word "fanatic" here in a particular sense. It is not meant to apply to everyone who believes Clinton should resign, or be impeached. It is meant to apply to that vociferous minority whose anti-Clintonism is linked to a specific right wing political agenda. This minority hates not just Clinton, but also that 66% of the citizenry (actually, it is less than 66% now) which is reluctant to see the President kicked out. (Take a look, for example, at the post immediately preceding this one.)
And in this world, it is the determined minority that usually wins the day.

P.S. I think I like grammar better than politics.
