the guy is a total moron, i certainly hope not.

Total caveman

Does Matthews currently live in PA? If not, then he has NO business running for a Senate seat. Without living here, how can he possibly know what the needs of Pennsylvanians are? And do we really want someone with as much tenure as Specter gone? Then we would be left with two newcomers - who would have NO political clout in the Senate for PA.

I can't stand Matthews anymore. He made a fool out of himself drooling over Obama. Go buy Larry's book! For a year this man has been telling the truth!

Arlen, the elite, has been feeding at the trought for 30 years and look at the mess he's helped get us into. He allowed jobs and companies to move offshore to avoid fair wages and fair share of taxes. He's got us into this deregulation of banks, utilities and insurance companies. Arlen's let foreign companies and governments buy our ports, highway toll roads and utilitites where they have an absolute monopoly, no competition. Specter has allowed this sub-prime mess, that is making companies and businesses go belly up, pension funds lose assets, and families lose their jobs and homes. Specter's done enough harm. He should apologize and get lost.

Chris Matthews will be a great senator and a change for the better and only way to send Specter into doing something else. The much needed Change in Washington will only come when there are strict term limits on senators, congressmen and women, judges and government employees just like there on the Presidency. This way larger number of Americans will have chance to serve the nation. If not it is the same old Ted Stevens, McConnells and Specters who will hog the positions in Washington while sending the youth to wars overseas, blocking the renewal and infusion of fresh blood at periodic intervals, while piling up the deficit and bailing out the poorly managed banks and financial institutions.

If it will mean getting Matthews off the airways, then I hope he runs. He has done more to pollute the national discourse than any other TV personality.

Matthews is a good if somewhat mis-wired guy. Specter is a wonderful Republican, one of the last of the breed. I should think a good man like Obama would like to see an intelligent, diligent, progressive Republican in the congress.
This progressive Democrat would vote for Specter on the basis of the quality of his srecord.

If Specter's healthy and wants to run, he'll keep his seat..He's a moderate with a solid standing as the Republican head of the Judiciary committee...There are many voters in PA who have voted for Arlen Specter more than any other pol in their lifetime...Matthews loves politics and has his heart in the right place but the guy's got an unbelievable case of attention deficit disorder.

chris matthews is a bumbling, on my knees for obama, idiot. he may have a good political mind, but what he has done on MSNBC has been a disgrace. but sadly, in modern day america, i dont know if it matters. look who we just voted in for our president.

Chris Matthews is a joke and any intentions he had of being in politics went out the window the night that he felt the tingle run up his leg. What a disgrace he is as a reporter(which he is considered according to MSNBC) I don't live in PA, but I would make calls and do anything possible to make sure that he does not win any sort of political seat, he is an idiot and to add anymore idiots to the senate would be downright foolish.

I like Specters but if he tries to Filibuster any of the major initiatives by an Obama administration... he is OUT!

Spector serves in PA at the mercy of the Obama Campagne. Phill is one quick email from Obama to his Millions of supporters in PA and neigboring NY/NJ/MD to being tossed out of facel.

One Filibuster and he IS OUT!

Bring it on Chris - me and millions of other Hillary supporters will make sure that the people of PA know how you have atatcked, lied about and trashed Hillary Clinton for the last 10 years.

Payback is a Bi#@!!

LOL...first Al Franken...now Chris Matthews! who's next, Keith Olbermann ???

Has Matthews stopped tingling and erecting each time when he hears our Greatest Smartest Leader speaks.

Chris Matthews would be a great
choice to be President Obama's
"court jester"!
Oh wait that's Al Franken's future
position! Or is it Joe Bidens
true position!
Ed Rendell just threw his hat into the
ring for "court jester" today!
So did Harry Reid!
With so many visable Morons among the
Democrat Party's leaders its a
miracle that they picked up seats in
Congress on election day!
