‘Hardball’ host eyes Senate
You may have read snippets about Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC’s “Hardball” program, mulling a run for the U.S. Senate from Pennsylvania in 2010. Matthews would seek the Democratic nomination to oppose incumbent Republican Sen. Arlen Specter. Born in Philadelphia and raised nearby, Matthews was a speechwriter in the Carter White House and an aide to then-House Speaker Tip O’Neill before becoming Washington bureau chief for the San Francisco Examiner. He has hosted the cable show since 1997. If Matthews decides to run it’ll be quite a campaign. He knows how to debate, a skill he’ll certainly need with a larger public record — most of it on video — than the average Senate challenger.
