PA-Sen: Matthews to Sign New Contract?

From the Politico:

TO BE ANNOUNCED TUESDAY, or soon: Chris Matthews signed to a long-term contract at “Hardball.” Last night, he was being affectionately called “Senator” at Linda Douglass’ chic holiday party.

If this is accurate, then we don’t have to worry about Tweety throwing his hat into the ring against Arlen Specter. Not that I’d think he could win a contested primary against a competent Democrat, but it’d still be nice not to deal with any of his nonsense on the campaign trail for the next year and a half.
