The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
The new NBC-Wall Street Journal poll numbers are out and they indicate the
public is disillusioned with the state of the country and ready for change.
What does this mean for the 2008 Presidential election? San Francisco Chronicle
columnist Debra Saunders and Univ. of Virginia Prof. Larry Sabato will tell you
what they think.
Then, Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) is considered by many to be the "dark horse" of
the '08 Republican race. Tonight he'll give you his thoughts on the key
conservative endorsements that went to his rivals yesterday.
This morning Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke warned of tough times ahead for
the U.S. economy. What effect will this have on the financial markets? Tune in
for analysis from Jim Cramer, host of CNBC's "Mad Money."
We'll then take a closer look at these headlines in our roundtable discussion
with the New York Times' Patrick Healy, the Chicago Tribune's Jim Warren and
the Financial Times' Chrystia Freeland.
Plus, don't miss tonight's Hardball's Power Ranking during the 7pm ET edition
of the show. We'll tell you which '08 Republican contenders are most likely to
overtake Fmr. NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R), our top pick for the nomination.
