Matthews' Strange Election Metaphor: Dems Like Americans At Alamo

This could go down as the strangest simile of the election season . . .

Introducing this evening's Hardball, Chris Matthews likened the electoral plight of Democrats to the Battle of the Alamo, "as seen from inside the mission." In other words, Matthews casts the Dems as the Americans, fighting a hopeless battle against the Mexicans, in which role Chris casts . . . the Republicans!

Watch Chris and chuckle.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Leading off tonight, SOS for progressives. For those on the left, watching tomorrow night's election returns promises to be like the Battle of the Alamo, as seen from inside the Mission.  The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has devastating data for Democrats.

Does that make Sharron Angle Santa Anna? ;-)
