Is there a groundswell of support growing in Congress for impeachment?

If the House does vote to impeach, where are the 17 or more votes in the Senate going to come from that would be needed to convict?

If (more likely when) the Senate fails to convict Bush on the impeachment charges will everybody be able to stomach how Bush will claim to be exonerated? Or will the many here who demand impeachment be satisfied with impeachment and not conviction as Bush serves out his term?

Lastly, impeachment takes time. It's not like the House would vote articles of impeachment this week and then the Senate would vote next week. If it started right now, and it isn't, it would probably be most of a year before there was even a vote in the Senate. Time is running out.
