Chris Matthews goes on the attack against an Obama surrogate.
  • Can Matthews answer his own question?

    As a journalist who, no doubt, thoroughly researched the candidates' history and stances on issues, surely Chris Matthews could answer his own question, right? A Republican leader in the Illinois legislature said Obama had a great record of legislative accomplishments while a member and Obama's Web site lists specific examples, so the record is clear - if journalists will only check it out. But I suspect Chris cannot answer his own question, showing he has no more credibility as a journalist than those he tries to embarrass as a blood sport for ratings purposes.
