After reading Hardball for the summer assignment, I think you may find this article interesting.  It’s a close look at Chris Matthew’s, the show “Hardball” and I think it’s a very different view of both the author, and the style of “Hardball” than you saw in the book.  It’s a long article, but a pretty fascinating look at Matthew’s personality in action.  If you like Matthews and the book, and want to keep it that way, you may want to skip this one.
