Jim Matthews, Republican chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners and former candidate for lieutenant governor, says he would be surprised if brother Chris, a Democrat, would leave "hardballing" to run for the Senate.
Matthews told the the AP that his brother loves his job as the anchor of MSNBC's Hardball, and is currently weighing a contract offer from the network.
Rumors and polls have been flying at the possibility of a Matthews/Arlen Specter match-up if both men made it through their primaries in the race for the U.S. Senate in November 2010.

Chris Matthews just found out that tingle going up his leg is smoke
Chris Matthews’ brother is a Republican? Must have locked Chrissy in the closet one too many times. ;)
There's a "who cares?" battle if there ever was one.
Matthew Will get crushed even Dems hate his hardball Show.. I Haven’t watched him in 4 years!! When I read it was his job to make Obama a sucess for the Good ogf the country I knew I wasn’t going to watch him anytime soon!..He is no longer a Journalist!!
whole family is republican, except Chris
Maybe Chris Matthews is doing this for the publicity and to negotiate a better contract with his employer.
Really? Was he a rebellious teenager, college messed him up? Sort of like Stephen Baldwin amongst all those Liberal Baldwin brothers, only in reverse.
Ancient Rome had a horse in the Senate (it's said), we now have a lowly jackass if Franken is seated. I feel mulcted -- but! if Matthews wins we'll have two jackasses!
His brother Jim is a RINO of the worst sort. The first thing he did upon being elected County Commissioner was throw his fellow Republican commissioner under the bus and make a deal with the lone Democrat (ex-congressman Joe Hoeffel) to unite and control the board. He has been a disaster and an embarassment to the local Republican Party. I wouldn’t believe anything he said and would not trust him any further than I could throw him.
He probably had a poll done and found out what everybody else already knows... Everybody hates Chris Matthews.
Crissy should move to Minnesota and run. He would be a shoo in.
I think he used to be a Republican, too. He used to fill in for Rush years ago.
The Obama spaz attack he has been in hasn't settled down yet. His leg is still tingling, buzzing, and quivering.
The article doesn’t say whether he’s a TRUE Republican, or a RINO.
