Small Snag in Kucinich's Impeachment Quest = IDEA too popular, exceeded "technological capacity"
Small Snag in Kucinich's Impeachment Quest
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2007/11/06/small_snag_in_kucinichs_impeac.html

On Capitol Hill this afternoon, a vote on the motion to table Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich's privileged resolution on the impeachment of Vice President Richard B. Cheney stretched well beyond the 15 minutes it would normally take, with over an hour of debate on the issue.

It was a lengthy discussion that Kucinich fans and foes off the Hill were unable to have themselves, as a planned conference call on the subject hit its own snags. A scheduled call to discuss the impeachment of Vice President Cheney was put off due to "technical problems stemming largely from the overwhelming volume of calls from interested citizens," according to the Kucinich campaign Web site.

The Kucinich camp explained that it had "significantly underestimated the number of call-ins" and that interest in talking about impeachment simply exceeded "technological capacity."

The call is set to be rescheduled shortly.
