Chris Matthews and Arlen Specter

Chris Matthews and Arlen Specter. That could be the matchup for U.S. Senate in 2010—at least, if you believe the comments the Hardball host (and brother of Jim) has been making lately. And if you don’t think it would be something to watch, just check out this quote from Matthews, as he postponed an interview with the New York Times’s Mark Leibovich: “I promised a bunch of Koreans I’d get my picture taken with them, so that’s where I’m going. I’ll be right back.” Oh please God, let it happen.
