Hardball Big Number
On Wednesday's "Hardball," Chris Matthews explained why 45 was the Hardball Big Number.
"Voters in Iowa and New Hampshire put a lot into the presidential nominating process. Not only do they study the candidates' positions, they often trudge through the snow and brave the nasty cold to come out and see the contenders up close. You would think that the candidates would show respect for these folks, if not out of gratitude then at least to win their votes.
But not John Edwards. Today's New York Times reports that he regularly shows up to events late, making his audiences just sit there and wait. And for how long? It's common practice for him to be at least 45 minutes late! A little case of passive aggression, don't you think? Forty-five minutes cooling your heals for John!" Watch video
