Bob,

I agree that the Republicans must tread very carefully, and I question the ability of many of them to do so. I thought they had learned something after getting their butts kicked over the shutdown of a few years back, but...

You know what's interesting to watch is how Clinton has given Republican moderates, who fear the wrath of the Republican-Christian base, something easy to latch onto. By taking a hard stance in favor of a full Senate trial and a vote on removal, Republican moderates can shore up their rightwing base without having to give anything on issues such as abortion or prayer in school, which would alienate their liberal/moderate supporters. Once again, the impeachment process sucks the lifeblood out of substantive political debate in this country.

Thanks for the encouragement on quitting smoking. I'm on day 4 without a smoke. I guess I thought I smoking was kinda cool when I was 22. But I'll be turning 30 on Saturday. I don't want to be a smoker into middle age.
