The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up, Bush enters the '08 fray!
The president took a not-so-subtle swipe at Sen. Obama today, all but comparing
his plan to hold negotiations with Iran to appeasing the Nazis in World War II.
Sen. McCain stood behind Bush's comments while Obama and other top Democrats
cried foul. Tune in tonight for the latest on this developing story along with
live reaction from Senate Foreign Relations chair Joe Biden.
Did Pres. Bush criticize a presidential candidate on foreign soil? Did he cross
a boundary? That's our debate tonight.
Next, Sen. McCain delivered a major speech today that clearly separated his
policies from that of the current President. Amidst fears of big election
losses come November, are Republicans scrambling to re-brand the party?
Hardball's David Shuster will have the report.
Plus, who did Obama refer to as "sweetie" and why did he have to apologize for
it? We'll bring you the video in tonight's Hardball Sideshow.
And don't miss the Politics Fix as we break down the political impact of these
stories and last night's Edwards endorsement.
