The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
You might have seen that Katherine Harris, the GOP congresswoman from Florida
and former Florida Secretary of State during the infamous recount in 2000
episode, has announced her intention to run for the Senate against the Democrat
incumbent Bill Nelson, a former astronaut and Hardball guest...We'll ask her
about the campaign and why many establishment Republicans may not have wanted
her to run...

Democrat and fmr. Iraq war veteran Paul Hackett narrowly lost a bid for
Congress last week in a heavily GOP district where he unabashedly criticized
the war in Iraq and the administration's policies...We'll ask him what his race
meant nationally and what his next move is...
Finally we join together two media/political powerhouses in the form of Bob
Shrum and National Review's Kate O'Bierne...We'll kick around the latest Iraq
Gallup poll numbers, the fight over the Roberts records and the Katherine
Harris race...
Please join us...Dominic Bellone wrote, compiled and edited The Hardball
Briefing from Washington, DC
By the way, my boss Tammy wanted me to throw this in the Briefing today in
