If the Republicans win the House after the elections he may very well be impeached. I get the feeling that there are a lot of skeletons in his closet that no one, especially the press, has ever bothered to peer into. And the decision to impeach is purely up to the House.

What would be interesting after that is to see what the Senate does with it–they get to be the jury. It is unlikely that the Republicans will win the Senate in 2010, and in any event it will need two-thirds of the Senate to make the impeachment stick. If Obama’s popularity continues to plummet how many of the Democratic Senators will wish to hold the party line when it means hitching their political futures to the tail of a falling star? If the evidence of “high crimes or misdemeanors” is especially damning the choice will be very painful.
