The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
After a 416-point plunge on Tuesday, the stock market rebounded modestly today,
up 52.39 points. Tonight on Hardball, Chris talks to Jim Cramer, host of
CNBC's "Mad Money," for the latest on what it all means for investors. We'll
also hear from Al Hubbard, President Bush's National Economic Council director,
for what the White House is saying about the market and what the future looks
like for the U.S. economy.
A plummeting Chinese stock market was apparently one of the triggers of
yesterday's drop
(http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/01/business/31cnd-stox.html?hp). But does the
global economy have too much influence on the economy here in the U.S.?
MSNBC's Pat Buchanan and former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich will be
here to debate.
Then, after Tuesday's suicide bombing near Vice President Dick Cheney in
Afghanistan, more attention is focused on the re-emergence of the Taliban
there. We'll hear from NBC News Terrorism Analyst Michael Sheehan, a former
State Department counterterrorism coordinator. Read more from the NY Times:

And we'll have the latest on 2008 politics - including some interesting new
poll numbers - with the Hardballers: Kate O'Beirne from the National Review and
the Washington Post's Eugene Robinson. Read the latest from Robinson:
