Matthews Thinks It’s ‘Dandy’ That Kucinich Could Run in Washington State
Chris Matthews admitted last night that he is more than willing to use his program to help leftist Democrats like Dennis Kucinich keep their seats in Congress.
Matthews discussed the possibility of Kucinich moving to Washington state to run for a seat since he is likely to lose his current seat in Ohio due to redistricting:
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Matthews: Well let me make a promise to you, make a promise to you. Should you make this incredible decision we will be covering your campaign with enthusiasm. That’s a fact, that’s a fact. I have some influence around here. I would find it a dandy proposition that somebody from the Democratic left can find another constituency which was just as hospitable to him even if he is screwed by the legislature of his home state.
Matthews apparently can’t bear the thought of losing a left-wing Democrat and thinks it’s perfectly fine if Kucinich moves to Washington for the sole purpose of trying to retain his seat in Congress. And to boot he all but offered to run Kucinich’s campaign for him using the influence he has at MSDNC, I mean MSNBC, to do so.
As for Matthews accusation that Kucinich is getting screwed by his own state legislature, he needs to be reminded that Ohio is losing two House seats due to a dwindling population. Any gerrymander there can’t hold a candle to the new Illinois map which may cost the GOP six House seats in 2012.
Don’t expect Matthews to be indignant about Illinois since it’s the Republicans who stand to get screwed, and that is just fine with him.
If Matthews keeps this up he’ll have to start filing reports with the FEC for the in-kind campaign contributions he has given to the Democrats.

Matheews should stick his head in a pencil sharpener and try and sharpen his dull intellegence
Matthews must have a short memory. When his original “tingle”man Bobby Kennedy wanted to run fro the Senate in NY,,Kennedy was NOT a resident of NY. He lived in Mass & D.C.,,if memory serves. His aids got RFK a Post Office Box to establish residency. When he finally moved to NYC,,it was in some ‘exclusive’ ‘hood like Park av or 5th av in the 60′s or 70′s (street)
These are streets with NO Minorities or Homeless,,Or Poor folks,,,you know,,,the ones that RFK said he “Loved” so much.Typical Hypocrite Liberal.
The North & the Northeast in particular are going to be hit hard in ‘re-districting’ in the next few years,,due to folks moving south & west as they age,,& as Biz’s move to NO tax states. Just think,,maybe we in NYS can get rid of Eliot Engel,,since his dist. is ALWAYS being ‘gerrymandered’
He is totally useless anyway,,,just like Kucinich & Matthews.
