The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) unveiled a new campaign slogan this weekend, urging
fellow Democrats to "turn up the heat" on Republicans. It was Clinton however,
who was feeling the heat as rivals attacked her on everything from
"triangulating" to planting audience questions. Tonight we'll hear from Sen.
Barack Obama (D-IL)'s chief strategist, David Axelrod, on how his campaign
plans to keep the pressure on the party's frontrunner.
Next, the leading Democratic candidates all spoke at this Saturday's
Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Des Moines, IA. Which Democratic contender has the
grassroots support and organization needed to win Iowa's primary? Hardball's
David Shuster will report on the highlights and we'll hear from the Politico's
Roger Simon, who covered the event.
Is the political climate of this election season comparable to the deeply
divided and dissatisfied electorate of 1968? If so, who stands to benefit?
Newsweek's Jonathan Darman and social commentator Nancy Giles will give you the
historical perspective.
We'll then bring in the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza, the Chicago Tribune's
Jill Zuckman and the Financial Times' Chrystia Freeland to size up this
weekend's political skirmishes in our roundtable discussion.
And, don't miss the Hardball Power Rankings live during the 7pm edition of the
show tonight. We'll tell you who's ahead in 2008's presidential race.
