MSNBC's "Hardball" host Chris Matthews trails incumbent Republican Sen. Arlen Specter by just five points in a new Quinnipiac poll:Incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter leads TV news commentator Chris Matthews, a possible Democratic challenger, 41 - 36 percent. Democrats back Matthews 56 - 24 percent, as Republicans back Sen. Specter 63 - 16 percent and independent voters go with the Republican 44 - 27 percent.
H/T to Allahpundit, who writes:
[T]here'll be no more entertaining campaigner than Matthews -- a new gaffe at every stop as his mind races to keep up with his mouth, a new "Hardball" lowlight reel issued by the NRSC every week as they sift through and stitch together years of bon mots. He'll lose by 15 points but every minute will have been worth it. There's almost no other media figure I'd rather see run, in fact. Emphasis: Almost.
