It's sad but true.

From Michael Meckler's blog:

For impeachment to take place, a resolution needs 50 votes in the Ohio House to send the matter to the Ohio Senate. In the senate, 22 of the 33 senators must agree to impeachment after holding a trial. The question is not whether the Ohio Senate will impeach Taft; the votes aren't there. Instead, if an impeachment resolution passes the Ohio House, the unseemly spectacle of a trial in the senate may be enough to convince the governor he ought to resign.

Democrats have 39 seats in the Ohio House. I reckon that a dozen or so GOP members could be found to support an impeachment resolution, making passage of the resolution a real possibility, but only if the Democrats decide to pursue it. Much of the political speculation has involved the question of whether it is better for Democrats to have Taft finish his term and hope that the unpopular governor taints his fellow Republicans in next year's statewide elections, or whether to go for the "kill" and energize the Democratic base by forcing Taft out of office.

Boy, isn't it great the "Republicans" are in charge.
