Chris Matthews, host of CNBC’s “Hardball” program, may not be anyone’s favorite political pundit, but as a guest on “The Tonight Show,” Aug. 22, he explained in under five minutes his views on both Republican and Democrat options for president as well as what’s wrong with Bush and his love affair with the Iraq War.
Matthew’s picks for the Dem and Rep nominations for president are Hillary and Guiliani, respectively. He recommends people sit back, close their eyes and picture the first thing that comes to mind when you hear each candidate’s name. With Guiliani, he said people will see someone who takes charge (9/11/01 still carved into the minds’ eye). With Clinton, he said the majority of women voters will see a female who can lead (I’m SO not convinced of this assessment of Clinton). But who votes in primaries and caucauses? Women!
As for the War in Iraq, Matthews says Bush and the current administration have “snookered” U.S. citizens from the onset. With the WMD search to today’s “surge” plans (which if it fails, Bush will only call for even more troops to be deployed to Iraq), this administration clearly has a penchant for engaging in fruitless matters. Matthews said there’s no way to withdraw and no way to win in Iraq.
His appearance was enlightening and entertaining…as pundits go.

Ya, I don’t think of Hillary as a decisive leader either….more of a poll watcher. I’d love to see a woman become president but I would hate to see the first woman president be a disappointment. I’m in the Obama camp at the moment but I’m not an overly enthusiastic camper. Republicans? All I can say is not McCain. Any candidate who thinks it’s funny to joke about bombing Iran or any other country is not worthy of the office.
