Revealed: Why Chris Matthews Nixed Senate Run

Would Chris's leg tingle to the sound of his own voice?

::shrug:: His choice to run. His choice not to run.

Wouldn't Matthews' face be closer to Obama's lap from a seat in the Senate?

Or maybe that tingling in his leg when he listens to Obama is not enthusiasm, but a neurological condition.

After his "tingling leg" comment it is icredible the man has ANY journalistic credability to maintain his JOB. This explains why he works for MSNBC.
Only on MSNBC could someone who made such a FOOL of himself could still have a job and call himself a journalist.

Matthews would do well riding the prevailing fair winds for Democrats and no doubt will do well among the MSNBC faithful, however he will NEVER live down the "tingling legs" comment and will never be taken any more seriously than say........Al Franken.

To Pete:

Say what you will but it does look like Franken wilo win his seat. Serious or not, a win is stil a win. As for Matthews, he is as intitied to his opinion as any one else and if the man get's a tingle, he get's a tingle. Although Matthews is an anchor, he still has an opinion.

Chris Matthews is a "JERK".....

Pete; you might want to rethink that comment. Rush railed against drug addicts"put them in jail" until it was revealed HE was adrug addict. There are so many more Rush examples. Also, lets take a look at O'Reilly, no I do not have enough time for him.

I never said he was not entitled to his opinion, just that he made a fool of himself with his "tingling legs" comment.
Only on MSNBC could someone who did make such a fool of themselves still have enough credibility to maintain an anchor position on a "news" (propaganda) netowrk.

As for Al Franken, there are enough 'Bush stole the election' zealots to explain voting trends for Franken that are 180 degrees out from what Obama recieved.
I believe this will be contested for a long time, Franken may win, but it smells bad.....really really bad, and most people, except those who watch MSNBC, know it.

I'm glad he's staying where he is. He can keep ripping the right wing-nuts new assholes, for being sooo stupid and corrupt. Someone has to call out all their spin for what it is. Thank God we got rid of them!!!

This goon didn't run because preliminary polling in Pennsylvania was way low. So low even voter fraud by ACORN wouldn't have helped him win.

Chris Matthews is reading the tea leaves. Last week, a Republican guest noted that Matthew's credibility was tainted because he was contemplating a run for the senate. It is a blatant conflict of interest for a journalist employed by a major news station to be running for office simultaneously. How could we possibly rely on Mathhew's analysis of any topic regarding Arlen Specter. He should resign his job, and then run. I suspect that his tea leaves were read by the muckymucks at MNBC, and he was given a choice.

I think Tip might have even popped a cap in Matthews' ass for tingling aloud.

THE ANSWER HERE IS VERY SIMPLE. HE'S JUST ANOTHER OVER PAID IDIOT WHO PREYS ON THE EMOTIONS OF THE WEAK AND UNEDUCATED JUST LIKE THAT RACHEL CHICK. RHODES SCHOLAR ........... NO, MORE LIKE AN EMPTY HELMUT. I THINK THEY LEFT OUT THE COMMON SENSE PART OF HER UPBRINGING. YOU LOOK AT THESE TWO AND YOU GET A BETTER INSIGHT AS TO THE PROBLEMS WITH OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. WOW FOLKS THEY ARE SCARY!!!!!!!

After nearly half of Obama's cabinet choices can't figure out turbo tax or just plain avoided paying thier fair share of taxes you Dennis, tell us right-wing nuts are sooooooo corrupt?
I won't get in a tit for tat with you Dennis. I'm sure MSNBC has informed you of every "Right-wing nut" with so much as a parking ticket.
With all of Obama's recent cabinet trouble I was just wondering what flavor that kool-aid is, you sound ridiculous.
