I'd be careful. That Hyde is a smart guy. He could be trying to lay low before the election, only to step up the pressure after November. Maybe they see it's not a real hot-button campaign issue. Maybe they see that it's bringing Democrats as well as Republicans out of the woodwork and into the polling booths. Keeping it quiet might cause more Dems to stay home. They hate Clinton with an irrational zeal, and some of them might want to impeach him just for the joy of it, regardless of polling data.

Why refer to a poll that shows most of the "American people" don't understand the process? What the House is doing is an inquiry. You don't even know what Clinton did or did not do! That's what the House is supposed to be finding out. Assuming the evidence shows Clinton committed two felonies, is he qualified in your personal opinion to be the president?

If you've read the same Newsweek article on Clinton, you'll also notice that Clinton is tapping the DNC coffers for a personal ad campaign. Again, as in 1996. While Republican candidates place ads over the last two weeks to pursue the swing votes, the Democrats are again diverting money from their candidates to Clinton. With the attention now focused on the close races, it remains to be seen that the blip in Democrat polling numbers will hold up in the crucial last two weeks.
