Chris Matthews is giving serious thought to running for office in the Keystone State, home of the Philadelphia Phillies, whose cap Matthews is wearing--perhaps US Senator in 2010, the seat currently held by Republican Arlen Specter.
But of course, Matthews is currently hosting "Hardball" on MSNBC. And there's an obvious conflict--or at least there should be--between practicing journalism and running for office.
So which will it be? MSNBC should not allow anyone to do both--to appear on its air, while politicking for one party, in one state.
MSNBC should confront to Matthews and get a clear, contractual understanding of his intentions. Matthews should either totally swear off political ambitions, no ifs, ands, or buts--or else immediately resign his MSNBC gig immediately and make an honest man of himself.

Make sure to have a video camera at EVERY event to capture his Macaaca moment!!
I’m sure Mr. Allen can help with expenses.
I’d love to see him waste a ton of money and get his butt spanked by a conservative.
Has he *chuckle* chosen a political party yet???
The thought of having Matthews and Casey as my Senators is sickening. Just when I was about to go to lunch too. Although Matthews wouldn’t have a shot of winning.

And, why not. This character has been shilling for the Democratic party for years now.
BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHAAAAAA!!!
Is Mutha (Murtha) gonna be his campaign rep?
Re: “And there’s an obvious conflict—or at least there should be—between practicing journalism and running for office.”
This has got to be satire.
How many decades has it been since Matthews was a resident of PA?
Wait a second? Are you telling me that prominent members of the media are Democrats? What are you going to try to sell me next? A Bridge in Brookyln? The idea that a socialist with muslim ties and no record is the Democratic nominee for President?
franken this year and matthews in 2010. See what abortion has done to the dRats.
Hah!!!!!
Who will MSDNC get to fill his spot? Bill Ayers?
Oh Dear Lord!
Matthews and Franken?
How is Matthews any different from Specter?
A new Rat to stomp out!
LMAO! Chrissy isnt going to run for any public office. He just has a tingle running up his leg at the moment. November 5th will wake him up.
In a branch of government increasingly populated by overstuffed, arrogant, rather stupid windbags, he would be a perfect fit.
MSNBC has already allowed Matthews and the rest of it's news department to politick for one party nationally so why would they change their policy for a local race?
It’s infuriating that this weasel has a job on a television news network. He has never been anything more than a Democrat politico, and his program reflects that fact perfectly.
