This raises some interesting questions.

Pennsylvania was at the epicenter of the fight for the presidency in 2008 and, just one week after the Barack Obama's victory, the Keystone State is once again caught up in the political buzz with a new poll that tests "Hardball" host Chris Matthews' chances against Sen. Arlen Specter (R).

The poll -- conducted by Public Policy Polling -- showed Specter leading Matthews 40 percent to 27 percent in a hypothetical 2010 general election matchup. One-third of the sample said they didn't know which candidate they would vote for and the PPP pollsters clearly did little to push them off of their indecision.

Now hold on here!

ArenÂ’t Matthews and his tingly leg supposedly a team of objective journalists? What is he doing considering a partisan run for office? Was his reporting and commentary this year colored by his need to protect his own political fortunes in advance of a potential Senate run?

And folks wonder why we charge the media (and Matthews in paerticular) with pro-Democrat bias.
