NBC White House Correspondent Chuck Todd has a theory on why MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews begged off from running for the Pennsylvania Senate seat held by Republican Arlen Specter.
"Because Chris had a really good friend of his say to him, 'What are you going to do when you get there?' and he couldn't answer the question and he realized that, and that's why he didn't run," says Todd.
"It was a childhood dream to be a senator, but he didn't know what he was going to do if he got there." It was the same for 2008 presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and John McCain, says the coauthor of How Barack Obama Won. "They never knew why they wanted to be president."

Isn't this insightful? Typical liberals, so horny for power but no clue what to do with it once they get it. Chrisy can continue to be an annoying bully on his tanking TV show.

Reminds me of when they asked Fat Teddy why he wanted to be president. His answer? Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Because he is a drunk?
Funny. He doesn’t know what he’s doing on his show, either...
Easy...He can’t afford the pay cut...
Chris is too mentally challenged for the Senate..
That’s saying quite a bit, when you realize who is in the Senate...
When Biden was “reported” as the smartest — you know the place is full of dumb shits.
One only look at Franken to realize the possiblility of Chrissy being elected
If I were to interview Chris Mathews, I’d ask:
“Well, Chris, just which of 0bama’s legs would you rather hump?”
I remember a fellow FReeper put it this way: Obama looks like a dog that finally caught the car....
he didn’t know what he was going to do if he got there
Capitol Hill is no place for a guy who can’t hold his water.
Not knowing why he wanted to be senator would hardly be enough to stop a Major Ego like Chrissie.
More likely Chrissie reviewed some old clips and realized that his opponent would have a field day making commercials highlighting what a boob he is.
Can you imagine having to decide between Chris Matthews and Arlen Spectre?
Just shoot me. Shoot me now.
Matthews serves as Obama’s fluffer.
He doesn’t trust himself, living that close to his love interest, President Obama.
Thanks geo.
LOL classic!
:’D I’m saving that one.
Isn’t Mathews the first cable TeeVee reporter who IS NOT a movie reviewer?
