Chris Matthews For Senate?

J.J. Jackson* | May 3, 2008 

Gee, you would think that Mr. Matthews would at least try to be a successful television host first.

Considering his ratings and how he is regularly beaten by FOX News he should put more effort into such a task. But then again, failures often end up in politics …

The possibility of the host of MSNBC’s “Hardball” Christopher Matthews, running against Senator Specter of Pennsylvania, a Republican, for Mr. Specter’s senate seat in Pennsylvania is intensifying.

Although Mr. Matthews said to Bill Maher of HBO that he’s “not getting involved in it” when asked about whether he would seek the position in 2010, it is odd to employ his television program in a way that would make him a favorable candidate to run for senator of Pennsylvania as a Democrat.

Mr. Matthews, who is from the Philadelphia area, broadcasted his show from Philadelphia during the week of the Pennsylvania primary. Political figures that appeared on his national show were the mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter, and an African-American congressman of Philadelphia, Chaka Fattah. In addition, Mr. Matthews interviewed on “Hardball” the chairmen of the Democratic committees of Allegheny, Montgomery, and Lackawanna counties, James Burn Jr., Marcel Groen, and Harry McGrath, local figures vital to any statewide candidacy.

Well, I guess he couldn’t be any worse than Snarlin’ Arlen. But he certainly wouldn’t be any better. If he would act on the floor of the Senate though like he acts on his lowbrow cable show, he should fit right in with your average Senator. Heck, his understanding of the Constitution is right down there with the worst of them.
