The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Sen. Obama confronted the issue of race head-on this morning with a sweeping
speech that not only addressed the firestorm created by his former pastor but
the very nature of his candidacy.
Tonight we'll bring you reaction from prominent African-American Bishop Charles
Blake. Then, will Obama's message of unity resonate with voters? Did he satisfy
critics of his relationship with Rev. Wright? We'll bring in our panel to
discuss.
With the GOP primary settled and months to go before the convention, what's a
Republican to do? Tune in for a report from Hardball's David Shuster on why
Republicans are voting in Democratic primaries. Why are they breaking for Sen.
Clinton? We'll bring in radio talk show hosts Ed Schultz and Mark Green to give
their takes.
Plus, what do polls say about Sen. Clinton's superdelegate strategy? And why is
the MLB taking action against an enterprising Obama supporter?
Don't miss tonight's Politics Fix for a look at the ongoing debate over race in
the '08 election.
