Breathe a sigh of relief, Pennsylvania. Not that Specter couldn’t have heartily beat Chris Matthews for PA Senate, but MSNBC’s president Phil Griffin says he expects Matthews to stay behind the Hardball desk for years to come:

Matthews is said to be considering an offer from NBC to remain as host of “Hardball,” a job he’s held for more than a decade, or to return to his native Pennsylvania to run for the U.S. Senate against GOP incumbent Arlen Specter.

There are indications that a decision could come soon, sometime before Inaugural Day. But MSNBC president Phil Griffin declined late last week to say whether that’s true or not.

“I’ve talked to Chris. I think he’s going to be here for a long time,” Griffin said. “I want him to be here for a long time.” Griffin said that there would be “clarity” soon.

While the best of both worlds would be getting this Obama disciple off the airwaves and see him lose at a Senate race, it’s nice to see Matthews realize he’s a talking head and not a politician. Maybe he should give Princess Kennedy a call.
