Tweety (aka Chris Matthews) running for Senate in 2010. Which party will he claim?

Poll question: Tweety (aka Chris Matthews) running for Senate in 2010. Which party will he claim?

Non-announced it on Colbert last night.

Edit to add: He's talking about running in Pennsylvania.

[SteinbachMB]

1. Shirley you must be joking.

...he loves Obama so much--his leg may still be shaking--unless it's moved up to his crotch. He wants to be an Obama-man.

[FatDave]

5. I'm series.

And don't call me Shirley.

I disagree with your "pro-Obama" take. To me, his fondness for Hillary seems readily apparent. But this is in GD, so I'm not going to say anything more on the subject.

[rurallib]

11. He's a McSame kind of guy - tough talking, manly

Willing to go to war with your children.
Watch him try to make out with Johnny Mac today.

[Ian David]

7. Tweety feels the same way about Obama that many of us do about Ann Coulter.

Tweety finds Obama sexually attractive and would do him in a heartbeat, but he hates everything he stands for.

[SteinbachMB]

8. You mean you find Coulter sexually attractive and...

...I'd do her.

[swimmernsecretsea]

27. OK, cool. She bites your head off after mating and eats you like a female mantis.

When you die, you don't learn any lessons from that, I hope you know.

[FatDave]

9. Wow. I get mixed emotions from those comments.

Specifically :puke: and :rofl:

[Catch22Dem]

10. You find her sexually attractive?

What in the holy FUCK? What would a man find attractive about her? Is it the adams apple? The husky mannish voice? Her dick?

[Ian David]

14. Not ME, personally. Just SOME people here. n/t

[swimmernsecretsea]

28. Hey! Stop that. nt.

[PCIntern]

2. Which state will he claim is my question...

He can forget about PA...

[FatDave]

3. He says PA.

I find it all far-fetched too, but that's what he said on Colbert, in Pittsburgh.

[charlie and algernon]

18. PA did already reject his brother for Lt Gov

although that may have had more to do with the top of the ticket, Lynn Swann.

[bunkerbuster1]

4. The "Lean Closer" party

"Vote for me! I'm such a sexist pig! ha!"

[Ian David]

6. He's going to join The Chubby-Chasers Party. n/t

[VWolf]

12. The Sunny Nobility Party nt

[MadBadger]

13. Is Arlen Specter running for Reelection?

[FatDave]

15. Apparently, yes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_2010#Arlen_Specter_.28R.29_of_Pennsylvania

Of course, he'll be 80 in 2010, battled a near-fatal disease (prior to his 2010 announcement) and was almost beaten out of the 2004 primary by Pat Toomey.

Casey's term isn't up until 2012, so Tweety would have to be going for Specter's seat. So I wonder, does he challenge as a republican in the primary or does he run against Specter as a democrat? Either way he's got a good shot at it, but I've never been able to figure Tweety out. The "whichever is more popular choice" is there because to me he seems like he just leans whichever way the prevailing winds are blowing at the moment.

[SoCalDem]

23. Yes, but he's very vulnerable.

In fact if Matthews does challenge him, and the polls look bad for Arlen, I think he'll decide to retire... at which time Ricky may re-emerge from his hidey-hole..

[MadBadger]

25. Matthews will run as a Democrat. That I'm fairly sure of.

He will lose though because he is very unlikeable.

[Wilber_Stool]

16. The Know Nothings.

It would be better for Dobbs so maybe run him for VP.

[UTUSN]

17. The Trickle-Me-Larry party!1 n/t

[Deb]

19. No kidding? Geez, I hope he runs as a Dem

so he'd be spitting on a fellow Republican.

[MinM]

20. Tweety's brother just ran as a pubb in pa

so there's that :shrug:

[K Gardner]

21. Whatever will Tweety do when he's a VICTIM of the same smears he and his network have

maliciously performed on others?

[MadBadger]

22. He'd run as a democrat.

[Ganja Ninja]

24. The Fight for Your Right to Party.

Who knows? The guy is all over the map politically.

[Sgent]

26. He's a Democrat

became a Democrat during McCarthy's campaign run. Served in the peace corp, worked for 5 different Democrats as a staffer. Ran for office (US House of Rep.) in the Democratic primary (lost). Worked six years as a staffer to Tip O'Neil.

[crispini]

29. Well, that would be -- interesting.

:eyes:

[JVS]

30. The Snowball's-Chance-in-Hell Party

[Bucky]

31. He'll represent the "Connecticut for Lieberman of Pennsylvania" Party

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Isn't his brother a republican?
