Hi dougjn; Thanks for the post, it is clear that the Lewinsky matter wouldn't have helped the summary judgement, just as you said. Here are some more links of interest from the Washington Post: Democrats Buoyed by GOP Tack "Nobody should interpret what we're saying as rosy or optimistic," said one party strategist overseeing the midterm elections. "We're saying Republican unfairness is a motivator." Like many others, Ohio Democratic Chairman David J. Leland said he felt the tide shift after Monday's airing of Clinton's grand jury testimony. Several people also pointed to new polls that show the president's approval numbers up. "It's not upbeat; more like stout-hearted," he said. "The overreaching and unfairness by people who have no agenda other than to humiliate the president will do a lot to motivate our base. "However, those same surveys indicate that conservative voters most disgusted with Clinton appear most likely to vote. And Penn later conceded that the higher support for Clinton in his latest surveys is statistically negligible while Republicans "are very much ginned up by the whole thing." With less than six weeks to the midterm elections, Democrats have scaled back their earlier projections of winning the 11 seats needed to take back the House or retaining their current 45 Senate seats. The goal now is to minimize possible losses by focusing on the party's core electorate, namely women, African Americans and union members. search.washingtonpost.com Democrats Fault GOP's Priorities Many Democrats have held out the possibility that Clinton might make a deal with Congress that falls far short of impeachment, such as accepting a censure. But the chief counsel for Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, Abbe D. Lowell, said that impeachment proceedings are inevitable and that Republicans will expand the investigation to include campaign finance activities. search.washingtonpost.com Men's Bad Rep: Just a Bad Rap?
