But I got an inkling that Matthews realizes that the game is virtually over, and has decided to settle back and enjoy the show as Kerry & Co. continue their meltdown.

Doesn't appear to me that he is sitting back. I think he may realize that his ratings are going down and everyone is headed to Fox for the news. So he may need to find a Socialist Pol. to shill for a living for.

You could be right, but rather than real anger or desperation, I seemed to sense amusement in Matthews' tone, even thought it was coming at his own candidate's expense.
