Certainly polls have been used before, but never to this extent. It has become routine for polls to accompany even the most up-to-date breaking stories. Incredibly, we knew how most Americans felt about the Starr Report and Clinton's testimony before most of us had the chance to weigh the evidence for ourselves...
Hillary continues to show signs that she's fighting in her husband's corner again. The First Lady has made her most direct reference to the Lewinsky scandal since the Starr report was released; on the campaign trail in Seattle late Thursday, she lashed out at Congress for "doing stuff that doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the long-term future of America." The subtext: Either Hillary's been spending too much time lately watching "Casablanca" reruns, or she really has come around to the view that the problems of three little people -- herself, Clinton and Lewinsky...
Ready to rumble? Here's the setup: On October 5, The men and women of the House Judiciary Committee will debate in open session whether the Starr report warrants an impeachment inquiry. That means we get to see on TV the biggest collection of partisan idealists in Congress: 16 soft-left Democrats, 21 hard-right Republicans.

Moreover...

Indeed, very little of what the President said -- from his definition of sex in the Paula Jones case to his defense of the gifts he gave Lewinsky -- could not be read or inferred from the 445-page Starr report. What had remained unseen, until Monday, was the way it was delivered. And while his text amounted to hairsplitting and none-too-subtle filibustering, Clinton brought all his speechmaking skills to bear in his testimony. "Legal parsing looks a lot better on TV than when you sit down...
