I wonder if we'll see "resignation" op-eds and major blog posts soon
I started another thread that predicted this happening, but I'm wondering... does anyone have a scoop on upcoming articles and whether anyone widely known will be calling for the Bush administration to resign?

Or barring that, anyone want to venture a guess on when we'll start seeing a barrage of such articles?

1. Sadly, it will take support from the polls
I think it is perceived as still too "out there" for a major paper or columnist to call for resignation or impeachment. So the Friday NYT, for example, has a lead editorial strongly critical of lack of preparation, and Krugman's column blasts Bush Administration faulty leadership, but not using language substantively different than usual.

If, as I sort of expect, reports start coming out tomorrow that congressional phone and fax lines were getting a huge proportion of calls for regime change (I know I contributed a couple), that may change.

But today the broadcast media found its backbone, so anything is possible.
