WaPo polling editor on polling the 'i word'

today's chat: "we do not ask about impeachment because it is not a serious option or a topic of considered discussion--witness the fact that no member of congressional Democratic leadership or any of the serious Democratic presidential candidates in '08 are calling for Bush's impeachment. When it is or they are, we will ask about it in our polls." So, first Conyers has to get his way, then a committee has to be established, then it has to report back favorably, and then someone has to file articles of impeachment, and THEN maybe then, he'll take it more seriously. That many consecutive victories by the Democrats in Congress is as unlikely as me breaking DiMaggio's hitting streak next season.
