First up, the latest on Michael Jackson.
Debbie Rowe, former wife of Michael Jackson, told an interviewer today that she
wants custody of the children she had with him. The DEA has joined in the
investigation into Michael Jackson's death. As the mystery continues
surrounding Michael Jackson's death, a possible battle over custody over the
children, and an enigmatic will, we'll bring you the latest on this continuing
story.

Next up, Sarah Palin Civil War!
The recent article in Vanity Fair detailing a tumultuous 2008 Presidential
Campaign for Sarah Palin has had shockwaves in the GOP. Today, newly released
emails show further infighting in the campaign. We'll ask the Politico's Roger
Simon and Mike Allen for analysis.

Plus, in the wake of the Al Franken victory in the Minnesota Senate Race, Norm
Coleman's name has been tossed around as a possible gubernatorial candidate.

And the economy is in worse shape then expected
Today, newly released economic numbers indicate a rise in unemployment to 9.5
percent, a 26-year high. When does the Bush economy become the Obama economy?

Goolsbee.
