Yes, Moynihan seems to be taking a very hard (and crotchety) line on Clinton. But he's a very lonely voice among the Democrats.

If you can't recognize that impeachment is dead, dead, dead, you're blind. The only question is how quickly Republicans can drop the issue while attempting to retain some shred of dignity on the topic.

The Bob Barr's of the party may not make the process easy. There is some possibility of a real brouhaha internally over the subject. My guess is that the Barr's will be coraled. We'll see.

Anyway, what really makes me happy is not so much the Democratic pickup, but rather the kick in the ass the RR side of the Republican party got. Everywhere centrist good government Republicans won. Ideologues in even marginally contested districts lost. Jeb Bush this time ran like his brother in Texas, as a kinder, gentler good government doer. As opposed to the RR ideologue he ran as last time. This time Jeb won.

Christian Coalition really took it on the chin. THAT is just what I wanted.
