According to the Scoop come Monday morning the official count of cosponsors could rise to 14 as Rep. Jim McDermott [D-WA], Rep. Bob Filner [D-CA], Jim Moran [D-VA] and Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. [D-IL] sign on or introduce their own articles of impeachment. With 54% of Americans favoring impeachment don't be surprised if other members of Congress also sign on as co-sponsors.

The momentum to impeach the Vice President appears to be building among Democrats. One wonders if Nancy Pelosi can keep the resolution off the table much longer.
