#3 Peace Corps or not, unless he's been a.... community organizer I'd say he lacks the qualificiations.

#4 If you think about it, all Matthews does is run his mouth and kiss-ass. Mentally, he's a midget, another loudmouth with a room temperature IQ.

He's perfect for the Senate as far as the Dems are concerned.

#5 Pat Toomey, the best spokesman on economic issues on the NRO cruise. I still cannot understand why W backed Spectre in the primary.

#7 Could this possibly be a pay raise? In Democrat controlled states, the misc. earning can be substantial.

#8 So, IIUC he's not from PA but wants to run in PA? Wow, pretty pretentious. He'd fit right in w/the senate.

#10 The Kansas governor is from Ohio. Pretty common deal anymore; get the cash and backing then find a position anywhere to compete for. Carpetbaggers indeed.

Celebrity: you will be a loudmouthed smokescreen for policy before we throw you under to bus to save our asses.

#11 What Oldspook said.

What are the chances that this frickin idiot news shill might get elected in PA?

#12 He could save time and just buy a Senate seat. I understand there's one for sale in Illinois.

#13 Matthews doesnt need to buy the Illinois seat.

All Matthews needs to do is pay off the political machinery in Philly for the nomination.

As for the general election, the people in PA are idiots (re: Murtha, Murphy).

He can just wave shiny objects at them and they will be distracted enough to voted "D" regardless of candidate.

PA, the Stupid State.
