Matthews staying put
Last month we noted some scuttlebutt that MSNBC “Hardball” host Chris Matthews might run for Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate seat next year. Well, he’s not going to do it. Matthews reportedly has told “Hardball” staffers he’s not leaving the media for politics. Matthews once was a top aide to House Speaker Tip O’Neill of Massachusetts and was rumored to be mulling a challenge against Republican incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter. There also were whispers Matthews was floating the Senate rumor to goose contract negotiations with NBC, which owns the cable network. Matthews never formally declared his candidacy, which was wise, sparing him the indignity of bailing out.
