Chris Matthew Assays John McCain’s “Mrs. Doubtfire Strategy”

Anyone who watches his weekend NBC show knows that Hardball‘s Chris Matthews is a big movie fan, and today, just now, he rather amusingly dubbed John McCain’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention the “Mrs. Doubtfire strategy.” Offering up a quickie synopsis of that film, in which Robin Williams dresses up as a British nanny after, in Matthews’ words, failing as a father and husband, he said McCain is pitching the same strategy: “We failed the last eight years, but we’ve put a new costume on — accept us and give us custody of the country again because we look different.”
