Good Call, Chris

Chris Matthews, known predominantly for his excessiveness, occasionally does hit the nail flat/perfectly. Just last week, for instance - in describing Charlie Crist's recent rise in the Florida polls, Matthews said that it looked like Mr. Crist had finally found the "sweet spot" (not too far to the left, not too far to the right). I mean, youza, huh, talk about an accurate statement. And a major nonpartisan one, too........................................................................................................Matthews, folks (and, yes, Mr. Crist, too - apparently), absent the blinders that most of these commentators (Olbermann, Hannity, Beck, etc.) cling to, clearly sees what's going on in the country. Yes, a lot of the liberals are losing (Corzine in New Jersey, Halter in Arkansas, etc.). But so, too, does the far right seem to be imploding. That tea party dude from New York's 23rd - he went down majorly! And, yes, so, too, did the Republican in Pennsylvania (competing for Mr. Murtha's old seat).........................................................................................................And, while, yes, the tea party candidates won big primaries in Kentucky and Nevada (Rand Paul and Sharon Angle, respectively), I can definitely see both of these controversial individuals losing this autumn (yes, two seats that were supposed to be sure-fire Republican pick-ups). You had better believe that Mr. Crist has found himself a sweet spot.
