The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Excitement is building for Wednesday's day-long political extravaganza only on
MSNBC. It's "Decision 2006: Battleground America" and you must tune in for as
much of it as possible to find out what you need to know in this hot midterm
election. Chris will anchor our coverage along with NBC's Brian Williams, Tim
Russert, David Gregory, Lester Holt, and Campbell Brown, as well as MSNBC's
Tucker Carlson and Joe Scarborough. It will be a day of leaders, challengers,
analysts, pollsters, and much more as we're just nine weeks until Election Day.
