The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC

Tonight on Hardball, Chris talks with former Republican Party Chair Ed
Gillespie, who's the treasurer of Sen. George Allen (R-VA)'s political action
committee, about the latest accusations against Allen. The reports first
surfaced on Salon.com on Monday and Chris also will talk with Joan Walsh, the
editor of Salon.com. Today, the New York Times and the Washington Post reported
on it: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/26/us/politics/26allen.html and

MSNBC Chief Washington Correspondent Norah O'Donnell will report on the
headlines being made by former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Clinton

president? AP reports on Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's reaction to the
former president: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15011269/.
