Indeed, Matthews would make an amusing center, and not in a freak way like Franken

How is someone who voted for Bush in 2000 going to win the Democratic Primary?

Public has a short memory.

I'd be pretty surprised if that clip didn't appear in a TV ad though.

If he has a well-funded primary opponent. 

If Nutter and Rendell back him he's guaranteed to win the primary - those two are kingmakers

His contract expires in June and I don't think he can run for Senate as a non-politician and work a full-time job simultaneously anyway.

It'd make for pretty hilarious (but unethical and illegal) news updates.  "In other news, Arlen Specter ran another two-faced, lying attack at against Chris Matthews.."

Chris Matthews continues to not fool anybody


From Politico:
Camden, New Jersey isn't a regular stop for the Beltway power elite, so a reader steeped in the local politics was a bit surprised to see the Hardball host popping up there at a fundraiser hosted by local power broker George Norcross.

Camden, while not actually in Pennsylvania -- where Matthews has been meeting the kind of local Democrats one does to test the waters around a Senate bid -- is a standard stop for Pennsylvania pols, an essential fundraising stop right across the river from Philadelphia, and Norcross is the region's top political dog.

And:

I'll be prepared to donate cash (and lots of it) to the GOP candidate if Matthews wins the nomination, given the GOP candidate has a chance according to polls.

Matthews is a blowhard, but why the hate?

He's certainly more moderate than a lot of Democrats currently in Congress, why the hate?  I mean, he's a bit of a joke, but not like, an epic one.
