The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Watch Hardball tonight at 5 and 7 p.m. Eastern for all the news and results
from Tuesday's big primaries and the latest in the war of words on Capitol Hill
as the fight for Congress gets hotter and Election Day grows closer. (It's just
55 days away now!) Polls show voters are angry this year for the midterm
election. Tonight, Chris talks with Bill Maher, host of HBO's "Real Time,"
about the anger out there and how the battle for power in Congress is shaping
up. Has the political rhetoric gone overboard?
Speaking of polls, on the 7 p.m. edition of Hardball, we'll have the results of
the newest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. NBC Chief White House
Correspondent David Gregory, CNBC Chief Washington Correspondent John Harwood
and NBC News Congressional Producer Mike Viqueira will all join Chris to talk
about what the numbers say about the mood on the Hill and around the country.

the Iraq War. Plus, former Clinton advisor Sidney Blumenthal, author of "How
Bush Rules," and Republican strategist Karen Hanretty will dig into how the
