(10,942 posts)Plus Matthews, like him or not, is one smart cookie who has solid historical knowledge of political movements going back decades before Matthews was born. And Matthews has the high pitch intonation of Tweety when he talks.

(7,515 posts)How does anyone know for whom he voted?
I was never much of a fan, however I have noticed he's been on fire for Obama for the past 2 months or so. Ratings related perhaps? He has seen the success of Maddow, O'Donnell and Schultz????

(12,799 posts)He did seem to have a 'thing' for the shrub. As you can see, UTUSN was not a Tweetie fan. I think the change at CNBC starting with Olberman's and Maddow's successes has been good for his political outlook. He's usually better now.

(10,942 posts)Matthew's family is a mix of republican, he has one brother who is a local republican official in Pennsylvania. Matthew's nuclear family, wife and kids, seem to be solid Democrats. Matthews did work for Nixon as a young man out of college, as a speech writer, but then saw the light and went democrat, working for Tip.
