The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up, the elephant in the room.
Over the weekend, Republican moderate candidate Diedre Scozzafava dropped out
of the race for the New York 23rd Congressional seat and endorsed the
Democratic candidate Bill Owens. The Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman
garnered national attention with support from Sarah Palin and the tea party
people. Tomorrow's elections could define the Republican Party. Who runs the
Republican Party? Will the moderates still remain a welcome group or will the
grassroots groups take control of the party? Who's next if the populism of the
tea party wins? We'll analyze tomorrow's big elections with MSNBC political
analysts Newsweek's Howard Fineman and Washington Post's Eugene Robinson.

Next up, a Philly stand.
The Philadelphia Phillies lost their third straight game in the World Series
last night. We'll ask Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter to talk about
tomorrow's elections and whether the Phillies can stay alive tonight in the
World Series.

Plus, the dithering memory loss of Dick Cheney.
On Friday, the FBI released the transcript of the interview that Dick Cheney
had during the Valerie Plame CIA leak investigation. Cheney declared, as his
answer, that he had forgotten 72 times in the interview concerning key aspects
of the investigation like whether he told his chief of staff, Scooter Libby,
about Joe Wilson's wife working for the CIA. We'll discuss this new
development in the CIA leak case with Newsweek's Michael Isikoff and Mother
Jones' David Corn.

Finally, in the Politics Fix, we'll play Hardball with New Yorker's Rick
Hertzberg, author of "Obamanos," and Washington Post's Anne Kornblut on who
will control the GOP tomorrow, Afghanistan's election, and the rest of the
day's political news.
