Back in the mid-90s, Chris Matthews was a different man. I recall him as an angry populist, always dishing it out to the Clintons. This was before he got tingles up his leg.
He might be getting a Bernie tingle. He raked Wasserman about Bernie’s spot at the convention.

Yes, I remember well. Once when there was a three-way or four-way race (Bush-Algore-Nader-Buchanan???), Matthews indicated that he, his wife and his son all voted differently. He hinted strongly that his wife went with Algore and his son with Nader. He was extremely coy about his own vote, but his discussion seen to imply that he had supported GWB.
And by the way, his wife is now running for Congress from the most “hoity-toity” Maryland suburbs of DC. She wants to replace left wing darling Chris Van Hollen. I’d say it’s anybody’s guess if she’d turn out to be worse than Van Hollen (a big task!) or about the same.
