I’m not entirely sure where MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews was going with this comparison but he made it. So I’ll post it. Matthews while speaking at the Institute of Politics was asked how he would respond to the claim that MSNBC officially supports Obama. I’ll leave that sort of hanging since this is not a political blog and I’ll just cut to the chase. So, during his response he started to talk about his “feel” and “sense” was that the higher ups at NBC were more for Hillary. Matthews went on:

…”but there seems to be a New York thing about Hillary. Just the people from… it’s like the Yankees and the Mets… it’s their thing. You know?”

I found this funny. I watch Hardball and Matthews is tough to read sometimes. He’s a real character who’s all over the place. It is interesting that educated people like those who run NBC would be guided by the fact that Hillary is a Senator from NY. She now has approximately five home towns. The Mets Yankees comparison must come from some interesting in house debates like sports fans have about their favorite teams for this to pop into Matthews bulbous skull. Well, I leave this alone. Don’t want to go down a slippery slope here. Just found it funny and interesting enough to share. Lets Go Mets!
