The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Tonight, Fmr. Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) plays Hardball!
Last night, Huckabee and the other '08 Republican contenders criticized each
other on everything from ethics to immigration reform during the CNN/YouTube
debate. Polls show the former Baptist minister gaining ground on his rivals in
early primary states -- tune in today to hear what Huckabee has to say about
the intersection between faith and politics.
We'll then bring you the hottest exchanges and debate reaction from NBC Chief
White House correspondent David Gregory and the Washington Post's Dan Balz.
And, don't miss a special "Truth Squad" report on the debate from Hardball
correspondent David Shuster. We'll also go behind the candidates' words and
analyze their body language with communications consultant John Neffinger.
Plus, what did '08 candidate Mitt Romney (R) have to say about the confederate
flag? And what does Pres. Bush have to do with Hardball's Big Number?
We'll take a look at these stories and more in our roundtable discussion with
the New Republic's Michael Crowley, the Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes and
Jennifer Donahue from the NH Institute of Politics.
