The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
"The campaign goes on." After much speculation, 2008 presidential contender
John Edwards and his wife Elizabeth delivered the news today that her cancer
has returned, but that his presidential campaign will continue.
Plus, was fired he for political reasons? Fired U.S. Attorney David Iglesias
from New Mexico speaks out on Hardball against the Justice Department and Bush
administration. Read Iglesias's account of what happened from the New York
Times:

But we begin tonight with David Yepsen, Political Columnist for the Des Moines
Register and Hardball Political Analyst and former Edwards adviser Bob Shrum
about today's news and the impact it will have on the campaign trail. Read
Yepsen's political blog here: http://blogs.dmregister.com/?cat=33.
We'll also hear from MSNBC Analyst Dr. Bernadine Healy, former Director of the
National Institutes of Health and Medical Columnist for U.S. News & World
Report, for more details on Edwards' condition. Hal Boedeker from the Orlando
Sentinel notes Healy's important comments on Edwards' health today:

And later in the show, more on 2008, including the possibility of a Gore run,
the latest in Clinton vs. Obama, and the future of the Edwards campaign with
former Gore adviser Michael Feldman and Washington Post columnist Eugene
Robinson.
Then, Hardball's David Shuster reports on the latest sparks between White House
and Congress over subpoenas and the questionable dismissal of U.S. Attorneys.
We'll find out what's going on from Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Ellen Tauscher
(D-CA) as they duke it out over the issue. And MSNBC Political Analyst Pat
Buchanan will add fuel to the fire when he joins the debate.
