Sen. Matthews

For those of you following the speculation that my favorite pundit, Chris Matthews, may be running against Sen. Specter, Politico has some articles here and here on how he's getting heat for not quitting Hardball right now. I think it's a little premature ... why can't the guy ask some questions and put the feelers out without quitting his day job? Now, if he comes to a conclusion then he should for sure quit ASAP ... but if he's testing the waters he has the right to stay employed.

Btw - he'd be a great Senator.
