Tonight on Hardball at 5 p.m. Eastern, Chris talks with Senate Majority Leader

Senate?

News" Anchor Brian Williams' interview with Iran's President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad. Check out more on the "Daily Nightly" blog:

in charge of Capitol Hill for the last two years of the Bush Administration?
How bad would Democratic control be for President Bush?
Also tonight, Chris will talk with the Hardballers about the battle for power,
the GOP fight over terrorism, and Decision 2006. Hardball Political Analyst
Kate O'Beirne, Washington editor of the National Review, and MSNBC Contributor
