The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Woah-bama! It's $25 million in first quarter cash for the Illinois senator,
just shy of Sen. Hillary Clinton's (D-NY) chart-topping total. Meanwhile, Sen.
John McCain's (R-AZ) money leaves room for improvement: Project Second Quarter
begins. And which '08 contender loves vetoes? Find out tonight on Hardball.
We'll have the latest in the great '08 with Rudy Giuliani Senior Advisor Susan
Molinari and Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen. Then, what will Obama's bank
balance mean for Democratic frontrunner Clinton? We'll hear from Obama
supporter Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL).
Plus, it's Easter Recess for Congress but the Iraq showdown with the White
House takes no vacations. Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Elijah Cummings
(D-MD) will be here to debate.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) continues her Syrian visit and
Iran announces that British sailors and marines held captive will be released.
Hardball's David Shuster will have a report, and we'll hash it all out with our
Hardballers: National Review Washington Editor Kate O'Beirne and Bloomberg
Columnist Margaret Carlson. Read the latest from Carlson, "Honk if You're Not
Running for U.S. President":
