Ok, I'm not sure if anyone has ever noticed this, but my brother made me realize it the other day, but Cris Matthews, looks a lot like Fred Willard.
And if they were to ever make a movie and needed someone to play Chris Matthews they would not have to look any farther then him.
I mean Just look:

So let's start a thing, leave a comment of a picture of any news person, or politician that could have a Hollywood stunt double!
I have come up with a list of names that have been bounced around to be Obama's VP, and I have added a poll down the bottom, the choices are:
John Edwards- Great speaker/debater, has good rural support, and good working class support, might help in the south, he has also been through this before which could help we know how they will try to attack him. Also he will still b a good age to be the nominee in 2016
Hillary Clinton- Might help 'unite' the party IF, the party really is divided.
Jim Webb- Swing State Senator, brings lots of foreign policy experience, was an appointed to Sec. of the Navy by Ronald Reagan, and brings a good bi-partisan look to the ticket.
Bob Graham- Very popular in Florida, and may help elsewhere in the south.
Bill Nelson- Not as popular as Graham, but still has a chance at taking Florida for Obama. Remember he only won in a landslide in Florida in 2006 because he was running against Katherine Harris was the worst choice for Senate for the GOP EVER.
Chris Dodd- Foreign Policy, experience.
Joe Biden- Foreign Policy, experience.
Tim Kaine- Swing State Governor, very popular. Good pick also when looking to 2016.
Mark Warner- Great choice, but means he leaves his race for the senate, and we lose that pretty certain seat.
Bill Richardson- Experience, Latino appeal.
Feel free to complain about the list, and who else should be on it, and who should not be on it.
Here is the Feb. 5th polls with Edwards included, some feel it not important to include Edwards, but if you read the whole poll, not just the numbers of Hillary and Obama, you just might be surprised.
MO Rasmussen: C-43 E-28 O-24
MO Research 2000: C-44 O-31 E-18
IL: O-51 C-22 E-15
OK: C-45 E-25 O-19
TN: C-34 O-20 E-16
CA: C-43 O-28 E-11
AL: C-43 O-28 E-16
GA: C-41 O-35 E-14
If you notice Edwards beats Obama in a few states, ties Obama in a few. And places in 15% in almost all, giving him delegates in each of those states.
So if you are gonna look at the polls be sure to look at all candidates standings.
It appears in CNN has screwed up to make Edwards look like nothing in Iowa!
Today CNN posted this on there ticker
<Obama picks up big Iowa endorsement<p>
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama is set to get the backing of Iowa Rep. David Loebsack Monday, an endorsement that could give the Democratic presidential candidate a boost of momentum with less than three weeks until the state's caucuses. Loebsack is slated to make the announcement in Des Moines later Monday. The endorsement -- heavily courted by many of the presidential candidates -- gives Obama backing from two of the three Democratic Iowa congressmen. Rep. Bruce Braley announced earlier this month he was endorsing Obama, while Rep. Leonard Boswell said last week he is supporting Sen. Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile the Des Moines Register -- the state's largest newspaper -- endorsed Clinton over the weekend. - CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
Notice how it says Obama picked up the Braley endorsement, giving him 2 congressmen backing him, when the truth is Braley Endorsed Edwards!
Plus, CNN has nothing about the First Lady of Iowa, endorsing Edwards.
But im sure once they find out they will report it as going to Hillary or Obama.
Edwards has picked up a key Nevada union endorsement, he has picked up the Nevada CWA (Communication Workers of America).
Here is the link to the announcement from the Edwards website:
http://johnedwards.com/nevada/headlines/ 20071206-nv-cwa/
This should really help Edwards in Nevada, John Edwards total union member support in Nevada is 28,000.
All he needs now is Unite here and he should be pretty good in Nevada, as long as he picks up a win in Iowa, and places well in NH.
