Poll question: How many dems in the House will support
the privileged resolution on impeaching Cheney that Dennis will introduce next week, by voting not to table it?

and though it's not included in the poll if you respond by posting, do you think Ron Paul will vote with Dennis?

2. You'll have the usual progressives supporting him...Barbara Lee, Lynn Woolsey etc....
while the rest of them will knock each other over trying to run to their desks and hide.

3. At least DK and his 21 co-sponsors
and I would imagine another 10-15 would join at the time of the vote.

Doesn't it depend on how many are actually there? There will probably be a lot of non-voters. I imagine no pubs. Hopefully Dennis will drive it home with a powerful speech and it will be in the record, so if it never goes any further, at least someone tried to do everything they could.

GO DENNIS!!!

5. I hope Dennis brings up all the latest revelations
like the forcing out of Justice of Levin. And I hope that others aside from Dennis will speak on this, but I'm not sure they even get the opportunity. What will it say if the vote is something like 400 to 35? What are the repercussions? How will that be spun by the repukes, the admin and the MSM?

I'm hoping for a shocker and a vote of 100+ against tabling the resolution.

6. I'm with you 100+ would be great.
I hope more vote with Dennis than the number that voted to censure Stark. It will be clear where the priorities are.
I don't see how 400 could vote to table it, but I really have little faith in them to do the right thing.

8. Kucinich is the tip of the spear. Unfortunately, there's no shaft ...
There was a shaft once, but Congress collectively shoved it up their asses years ago.

9. Safe Seats
The debate will be interesting...and the number of votes that support this resolution will give an indication of what kind of leader Kucinich is. I'm glad he's finally moving on this and look forward to the debate this is sure to let loose.

I suspect that there will support by not just supporters but several caucuses as well...possibly including the CBC and the Get Out Of Iraq group. Thus I suspect there should be 30-60 votes in favor...it's a vote that would be a safe one in many of these districts. However, I suspect we'll see leadership "punt" on this...avoid getting their hands "dirty" on this in fear of the corporate media chattering class.
