Chris Matthews May Seek Pa. Senate Seat

HARRISBURG (AP) ― A Pennsylvania Democratic party leader says MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews is considering a run for U.S. Senate in 2010.

The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reports Matthews met with state party leaders this week in Washington to discuss a possible bid to unseat Republican Sen. Arlen Specter.

Mary Isenhour, the executive director of the state Democrats, says she left the meeting feeling that Matthews still hadn't made up his mind.

The 62-year-old Matthews hosts MSNBC's "Hardball" and provides political commentary on NBC's "Today" show.

He's a Philadelphia native and ran unsuccessfully for a northeast Philadelphia congressional seat in 1974.

There was no immediate comment from Matthews on Saturday.

A reliable home telephone number could not be located and a representative of MSNBC did not immediately return a call.
