*Sigh*
MSNBC pundit may seek Pa. Senate seat
November 30, 2008 6:00 AM
HARRISBURG (AP) — MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews is considering a run for the U.S. Senate in 2010 in a possible bid to unseat Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, according to a Pennsylvania Democratic party leader.
Matthews met with state party leaders this week in Washington to discuss a possible bid. Mary Isenhour, the executive director of the state Democrats, told The Patriot-News of Harrisburg that she left the meeting feeling that the host of MSNBC's "Hardball" still hadn't made up his mind.
"He's got a lot of things he still needs to consider," Isenhour said.
"He's got a really good job with MSNBC. I think he's going to put some thought into it before he jumps in."
The 62-year-old Matthews, whose contract with MSNBC expires in June, also provides political commentary on NBC's "Today" show. He's a Philadelphia native and ran unsuccessfully for a northeast Philadelphia congressional seat in 1974.

Bite me! ;D Oh, wait. The NE section went from a Republican stronghold to 1/3 again as many Dems in the course of 7 years - major influx of NYC folk. And, shock of shocks, our crime rate skyrocketed and we have a 20% foreclosure rate on new houses. Guess who got CRA loans?

Fatman,
Nothing against you as I am from PA myself. Just that Pgh and Philly are growing and rural is declining.
