Hillary is definitely a remarkable politician, though not necessarily the best one for the job of being our 44th President. Of course the voters will (and are) deciding that on their own but forget all that voting stuff for a moment. For many months now, Chris Matthews has a had an odd thing for Hillary. Some call it an obsession and by the looks of it, that is certainly what it is. Matthews plays dumb when Hillary calls him on his shit, but when you take a look at the exchange, Hillary clearly gets Tweety good.
From Crooks and Liars:
Looks like Christopher is in denial. Maybe if he'd try to be fair to all the candidates on his show he wouldn't have been caught the way he did.

If you were bemoaning the fact there just wasn’t enough sex in the presidential race to make it interesting there was this bit of absurdity from a press conference at Nashua North High School in New Hampshire as Hillary called out Chris Matthews of MSNBC over his obsession with her. It all began innocently enough as Matthews pressed her on the plan to bring U.S troops home from Iraq and the difference from her competitors. Mrs Clinton said she’d be “responsible about it”, which didn’t satisfy the dogged Mr Matthews:
Matthews: “No, you tell us the difference!”
Clinton: “I’m not on your show, I’m just answering your question.”
Matthews: “Please come on the show.”
Clinton: “Yeah, right.”
Matthews: “Is that an answer?”
Clinton: “You know, I don’t know what to do with men who are obsessed with me. Honestly, I’ve never understood it.”h/t Mediabistro:
Later, Sen. Clinton walked over to Matthews. He pinched her cheek. She grazed his with her hand and said in a mother-to-child tone, “oh, Christopher. Baby.” Matthews mumbled, “it’s not an obsession.”
