The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
The race for the '08 Democratic nomination heats up!
This weekend an item in a Robert Novak column set off a back-and-forth between
the Obama and Clinton campaigns. Hardball's David Shuster will lay out the
story and report on the latest reaction. We'll then turn to the Politico's
Roger Simon and the Chicago Tribune's Jim Warren for more on this developing
story.
Negative campaign tactics have been publicly disavowed by many '08 candidates,
but is opposition research an essential part of election politics? NBC News
Political Director and the New Republic's Michael Crowley will tell you what
they've seen from the campaigns so far this year.
Next, veteran NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw, author of "Boom! Voices of the
Sixties," will give you his take on the presidential candidates and how their
politics have been shaped by the legacy of the 1960's.
Brokaw will then join the Chicago Tribune's Jill Zuckman and the New Yorker's
Ryan Lizza for a roundtable discussion on these topics and the week ahead in
politics.
Plus, don't miss this today's Hardball Power Rankings during the 7pm ET edition
of the show. We'll tell you which '08 candidates have displayed momentum this
week. It's only on Hardball, only on MSNBC.
