The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up - the 100th day!
The Obama administration welcomed their 100th day in office with a new Democrat
onboard! Longtime Republican Sen. Arlen Specter (PA) announced yesterday that
he would be switching parties, which could give Democrats a filibuster-proof
majority in the Senate. So, why did Sen. Specter make the move? How will it
play out? And what does it say about the states of the political parties today?
We'll ask the moderator of Meet the Press, David Gregory and NBC Chief White
House Correspondent, Chuck Todd for their insights before tonight's 8pm
Presidential news conference.

And if one thing is clear from the first hundred days, it's that President
Obama is a far cry from his predecessor. The Cook Report's Charlie Cook and the
Chicago Tribune's Clarence Page will be here to discuss what President Obama
has done so far to undo the Bush years.

Plus, we'll be joined by Senior Advisor to President Obama, David Axelrod, to
talk about all that the President has accomplished in his first hundred days
and what we can expect from the next hundred to come.
And in the Hardball Sideshow, we'll take a look back at some of the most
memorable images of the Obama Presidency to date.
Don't forget to tune in after the President's news conference tonight for our
special, late-night edition of "Hardball" at 11pm.
