MSNBC host Chris Matthews is making preliminary inquiries into running to unseat Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, while openly declaring himself an active supporter of the Obama administration.

Matthews described it as his "job" to help Obama on Thursday during Joe Scarborough's "Morning Joe" program.

While I hate this jacka$$, there’s something to be said for ANYBODY replacing Specter.

If he does I will make it my personal mission to see him defeated. One Matthews brother is enough in these parts in office.

I hope the senate floor has indoor/outdoor carpet.

At least in front of the microphone.

I watch him everyday, I have yet to see him Demonize Republicans.

He calls it as it is.

He doesn’t agree with policy positions, but he always gives fair hearing, never cuts off anyone, keeps it light hearted, but he does point out the spin when he sees it.

Is there anything that can be done to vet the ballots this time?

How about we have Rick Santorum run against the RINO Specter and win.

LOL. You mean this guy?

In the 2006 election, Santorum lost, with 41% of the vote to Casey's 59%,[57][58] statistically the worst defeat ever for an incumbent Republican Senator in Pennsylvania[59] and the largest margin of defeat for an incumbent Senator since George McGovern lost his reelection bid to James Abdnor in 1980.

Matthews and Specter are pretty much the same anyway.

We must be watching two different people.

Yesterday he said it was his job to make sure Obama is a success. He said he doesn't want to question Obama’s motives...but he pushed the whole “oil was the motive for the war” line for months.

Please, he's a sick joke

Nope. I think he is genuinely nice guy. He can be voice of conscience.

He can be counted upon to speak up if he sees billions being given away to giant corporations or government contractors.

He is someone who would be willing to lose his seat to say what the truth is.

Which is why I don’t think he has a prayer to get elected.

Unless he can learn to spin and lie, and take poll-tested positions, he or any other politician doesn’t have much of a chance.

“Matthews is like a child out of control... a very liberal child”

All out-of-control children are liberals. Regardless of their age.

He should get the heck out of news, since he is just a partisan hack anyway. Hey, if Franken can almost get in, there is really hope for everyone. The bar is set that low.

That would set me into early death. The things we are seeing is aging me by the minute. I don’t know if I will make in until 2016! In eight years I will be 55 year old. It could be a young death!

I missed yesterday’s show. War for Oil is nonsense. That more Olberman’s line. Chris may have asked that question, I haven’t seen him push that.
