Any news about the Senate vote to dismiss? Also, any idea when the vote on witnesses will be taken? I hope the votes are there for continuing this MESS for at least another year in the Senate (OK, OK maybe I should settle for less! How about until July 4, 1999? :-) ) If the trial is extended over several months, the gains for the Democratic Party in the Year 2000 elections will be IMMENSE. As the trial wears on with witness after witness after witness, it will be good if one or two Democrat senators pretend that they are on the fence. This will egg the blood-thirsty Republicans into digging deeper and deeper holes. It will also help if President Clinton continues to irritate the crazed GOP lunatics by occasionally appearing at functions in which the crowds keep cheering loudly in his support. Since the Republicans have decided to drag this along anyway, it will be in the Democrats' interests to reap as much from this as possible. The trick is to keep the Republicans sufficiently enraged and remain in control of the whole thing as it goes along, and stoking the embers whenever they seem like dying out. A false hope here, a "pep rally" there; a concession here, an exposure of hypocrisy there. And so on and so forth. Keeping my fingers crossed in the hope that the Senate gets into the very same partisan CRAP that the House got into. Wish me luck!
