Matthews again attacked Hillary Clinton as "Dukakis ... in a dress," said "modern women" not acceptable to "Midwest guys" as president, wondered if there's "a strong, serious alternative to the president's philosophy" on fighting terror

SUMMARY: Chris Matthews stated that Sen. Hillary Clinton "may not want to risk being another Dukakis -- this time in a dress," the third time he has made reference to Michael Dukakis in discussions of Clinton's potential presidential bid. Matthews also declared, "[G]o see Deer Hunter if you think [Clinton] can get elected president," adding that "Midwest guys" whose "idea of heaven is out hunting with the beer cans and shooting a pheasant or a bear" are "not up to modern women as president."
