week. A rumor that Matthews was in active talks about a run were denied by his staff, but now new reports have the MSNBC pundit talking to political leaders Monday about his possible bid, and some advising him to quit his TV job now as a result. From Politico:"As a news organization, you certainly wouldn't want to be in the position where you were giving a candidate an advantage by putting him on the air every night if he were running," said Tom Rosenstiel, director of Pew's Project for Excellence in Journalism.The Politico report goes on to speculate that the heating up of the rumor may just be a negotiating ploy on Matthews' part.
Republican Senator Arlen Specter is potentially vulnerable in his 2010 bid for re-election. A Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Pennsylvania voters finds Specter leading MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews by just three percentage points, 46% to 43%, in a match-up that may foreshadow one of the nation's most closely-watched Senate races.I'm hoping he does it, if for no other reason than that I'll get at least 3 stories out of it: The announcement, the one where I picth Caleb and I to replace him, and the one with the eventual Youtube video of Olbermann or someone sating Matthews gives them a feeling up the leg.
