The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up - The Presidential Prescription.
President Obama has resolved to take a leading role in the battle for
healthcare reform, but will he be an effective spokesman, given new polls that
show a dip in his popularity? We'll ask Chuck Todd, Chief White House
Correspondent and NBC News Political Editor, and the Washington Post's Dan Balz
to analyze.

Next up - Republican Rehab. The outlook for the GOP seems bleak, as poll
numbers remain low and changing demography favors Democrats. We'll ask RNC
Chairman Michael Steele to discuss Republican prospects when he plays Hardball
tonight

And in the Politics Fix, we'll continue to analyze the President's push for

and center on this issue? MSNBC Political Analysts Eugene Robinson and Michelle
Bernard will discuss the potential political fallout.
