Good catch! (I didn't see it so I went back and looked at the transcript). The exchange continued:
Pat Buchanan, let me ask you this. Is Hillary Clinton a liberal?
VANDEN HEUVEL: On economic rights, her president was too pro-corporate.
BUCHANAN: Hillary Clinton, in my judgment...
MATTHEWS: Is Hillary Clinton a liberal?
BUCHANAN: Yes, she‘s a liberal.
MATTHEWS: Is Hillary Clinton a liberal, Pat?
BUCHANAN: Yes.
Hillary Clinton is not only a liberal. She has got three problems Bill Clinton didn‘t have, or Clinton had three assets. One, he was from the South and Arkansas, perceived as a centrist. Secondly, Bill Clinton was a fine debater and a fine speaker. And Hillary Clinton gets too high and too shrill.
And, third, Bill Clinton had Ross Perot in the race, who siphoned off 40 percent, 40 percent of Bush‘s 1988 vote...
VANDEN HEUVEL: Yes, that‘s true.
MATTHEWS: That‘s true.

I don't agree with Pat on many things, and I really resent that MSNBC calls him a Republican.
But he's one heckuv a political analyst!
Amen to that.
Can't remember where I heard it yesterday (Hardball?) but someone said Hillary should get a hard right winger to run as a third candidate, it'd probably be her best bet to win.
Did you notice that throughout the entire show (Hardball) Chris mentioned Syria once but didn't say anything, that I caught, about the Syrian government in Lebanon stepping down?
We should send Chris a roll of duct tape to wrap his head so that when his head explodes it won't make such a mess.
