From the look on Chris Matthews’ face, either (a) his mom just died, or (b) he just admitted Republicans will win the senate

Did we see a little quiver in Chris Matthews upper lip? A little tear forming at the corner of his eye? Maybe it was just our imagination. But maybe not.

Rather: Look, there’s, there are a lot of angry people out there, and a lot of scared people. People vote their pocketbooks. That’s number one. Number two, overnight’s a long time in politics. A week is forever. We still have a long time to go and a lot of things can happen between now and November. As we sit here today, odds on the Republicans take the House – I know Democrats don’t want to hear it – retake the house.

Matthews: (glumly) I agree with that.

Rather: And the Democrats, because of the figures that have so many in the Senate, probably hold on to the Senate. And it will change the center of gravity in American politics unless something dramatic happens between now and November.

  • Kind of looks like the cover for a country-western song in which the guy's best friend steals his wife, his dog, his pick-up truck AND his beer, plus his mother-in-law moved in the day before.

    Come on, Chris. Tough it out. Remember, you'll always have the "tingle". No one can take that away.

  • Hopefully that is the look on his face when, at some point, a new boss comes in & looks at the numbers. He would be out on his ass if ratings mattered.

  • If you watch the whole video and then click on the other "related" videos, Dan Rather says something outrageously racist about Obama not being able to sell watermelons. WTF. Matthews cuts him off, but he said it.

    WOW.
