The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up, the missing piece.
Democrats are having significant problems trying to reach the coveted 60 votes
on health care. Conservative Democrats are reluctant and progressives are
revolting because they say the bill no longer represent true reform. Is the
Senate missing its late, great lion? Would Senator Ted Kennedy have been able
to bring Democrats together and possibly get a Republican or two on board?
We'll ask Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and John Barasso (R-WY).

Next, political peril in 2010?
Forty Democratic House seats look competitive next year. What does President
Obama need to do in 2010 to make sure the jobs crisis and toxic political
climate don't cause a repeat of 1994? We'll discuss the President's options
with Editor of the Cook Report Charlie Cook and Political Director of Atlantic
Media Ron Brownstein.

Plus, climate change you can believe in?
The last time the President went to Europe, he failed to obtain Chicago's bid
for the Olympics. We have breaking news that the President has secured a
"meaningful agreement" with China, India, and South Africa. How will this win
play at home? Can the President convince Americans that it could lead to new
jobs? We'll play Hardball with MSNBC Political Analyst Pat Buchanan and
Democratic Strategist Bob Shrum.

Finally, in the Politics Fix, we'll talk about the McCain/Lieberman
partnership, the newest history on the Clinton impeachment scandal, and the
rest of the day's political news with Chicago Sun Times' Lynn Sweet and
Politico's Josh Gerstein.
