On the subject of media, yesterday Chris Matthews was in Nathans for lunch. His guest was a political consultant from Los Angeles, who would have handled his campaign had he run for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. He has publicly said he would stay in his job at MSNBC rather than become a candidate. I happened to stop in and sat with them for a while and tried to convince Chris to change his mind and run. The consultant said he has to decide in the next week. Chris had one reason for not running, and I did not think it is good enough. The consultant agreed. We tried, but I don't think we convinced Chris to change his mind. I wish he would. Chris would be an interesting addition to the Senate. Can you imagine him and Al Franken there together, in the same club?
