PLAYING HARDBALL?
MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews confirms that he is contemplating a run for the U.S. Senate in his native Pennsylvania.
Mr. Matthews noted in a conversation with this columnist that his network contract is set to expire next year, and he is currently weighing his various options, including becoming a Democratic challenger to incumbent Republican Sen. Arlen Specter in 2010.
He also made a point of saying that his brother, Republican James R. Matthews, the Montgomery County (Pa.) commissioner who ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor in 2006, would play a key role should a campaign be launched to unseat Mr. Specter, Pennsylvania's longest-serving senator, who has already announced that he is seeking a sixth term in office.
The popular MSNBC host is no stranger to politics, having served as a speechwriter to President Carter and top aide to then-House Speaker Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill Jr.

| Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them." |
