Joni Ernst's Election Chances Have Chris Matthews Squealing Like a Pig

It's safe to say that MSNBC's Chris Matthews will be squealing like a stuck pig come election night should Republican Joni Ernst defeat Democrat Rep. Bruce Braley in the U.S. Senate race in Iowa. Here's a video montage from the October 6 edition of Hardball featuring Matthews's odd, condescending fixation that a Iowa farm girl and former "pig castrator" like Ms. Ernst could be elected to the world's greatest deliberative body. In the montage you may notice a female pundit giggly at the mention of castration.

While unpictured in the video, that voice belongs to USA Today's Susan Page.
