Impeachment vote

Berkeley is still ahead of the curve.

The municipal council in the liberal California city of Berkeley plans to give voters a say on a measure calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, the mayor said on Wednesday.

A number of local governments across the United States have pressed resolutions urging impeachment, but the Berkeley city council's goal is to be the first to put the issue directly to voters, Mayor Tom Bates said in an interview.

With Bush's approval ratings in the thirties -- and far ahead of Cheney's -- I think I can safely predict that voters will choose in favor of impeachment.

That's ignoring the Diebold factor, of course.
