------------------------------------------------------ The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC ------------------------------------------------------
Obama's former pastor stirs the pot! Rev. Jeremiah Wright's racially-charged sermons are hitting the airwaves and echoing throughout the presidential campaign. Sen. Obama has distanced himself from Rev. Wright's comments, but is damage already done? Is this fair game? Next, Sen. Clinton's campaign claims her "big state" primary wins make her a better general election candidate than Sen. Obama. We'll bring in NBC political director Chuck Todd and the National Journal's Ron Brownstein to deconstruct that argument. Sen. Clinton's "3 a.m." ad has arguably become the most recognizable of the '08 race, but does the ad have a racial sub-text? Tune in to hear what Harvard Prof. Orlando Patterson and MSNBC's Michelle Bernard have to say. Plus, forget delegates -- which candidate's winning the YouTube contest? And why is "Client Nine" getting a radio channel? We'll take a look at these stories and the ongoing Democratic delegate race during tonight's Politics Fix.
