...Clinton who had the most to lose: Monica's popularity ratings have been close to the single digits for months, while the President, riding a muscular market and peaceable times, seemed invulnerable to redefinition no matter how lurid the rumors of his personal conduct. But that was a judgment made about a public man: Starr has now introduced his wanton private shadow, and asks us to reckon with both. There is Clinton, servicing a major donor on the phone as Monica lurks nearby. There he is plotting chance encounters in the hall so he and Monica could slip into...
With Clinton judgment in tatters and his skills in question, it made sense to ask the next question: Well, if he can't retrieve these things, if he can't put those talents to use making our lives better or safer, and if he sincerely cares about preserving his policies, then why not do the honorable thing...

What's more, the largest percentage of those polls -- between 59 and 67 -- favor neither impeachment nor resignation but a third option: congressional censure...
