TPM Reader KB hopes against hope (and sanity?) on Chris Matthews’ debamboozlement skills
I know you are on the lookout for who will buy the McCain camp’s spin on Obama and Iraq. Watch very closely Chris Matthews tonight.
Last week he was on vacation (I’m only guessing he returns today). So his reaction to this will be pent-up from last week.
There are two reasons to watch Matthews:
1. He has long been repeating his belief that Obama’s Iraq stance was the only reason he is the nominee and not Hillary.
2. Matthews has a history of acute McCain man-crush. He may be eager to find something on which to pivot back toward McCain in this election.
I’m willing to bet that the 5:00pm edition of Hardball today will be a clownish affair of overheated screaming about Obama having a new Iraq problem.
Just a guess…hope I’m wrong.
