29. They just don't have the guts to do it
Bush has basically said to them "I dare you to impeach me!"

Bush and the Dems know that the media is on Bush's side and can be relied upon to give 50-50 accounts of every high crime & misdemeanor of Team Bush and create a ton of reasonable doubt...

The Dems don't want to risk taking a strong stand out of fear. Fear of the media and fear of change - right now, it looks like the Dems will win the White House and gain seats in both houses of Congress. If they launch serious impeachment proceedings, they fear it will energize the dispirited Republican base and also take the focus off of Congressional elections. Lame excuse, but I think that is the reason.
