The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Host Chris Matthews is on the campaign trail tonight with Sen. John McCain
(R-AZ)!
Eight years ago New Hampshire voters bolstered McCain's presidential bid with a
key primary win -- will a repeat in 2008 lead him to the nomination? Tune in
for a special look into McCain's "Straight Talk Express" from the road in NH.
We'll also analyze the latest batch of '08 "holiday" advertisements with Donny
Deutsch, host of CNBC's "The Big Idea."
Next, a federal court has ruled that the Bush administration must answer
questions about the destruction of CIA interrogation videos of two al-Qaeda
suspects. Newsweek's Mike Isikoff will tell you which top White House officials
may be forced to testify.
We'll then discuss these stories and their implications in our Politics Fix
with Hardball's David Shuster and Newsweek's Holly Bailey on the ground in
Iowa, and the Boston Globe's James Pindell in New Hampshire.
Plus, don't miss the 7pm ET edition of the show where we'll bring you numbers
and analysis from the latest NBC/Wall St. Journal poll. What are Americans
saying about campaign issues and the '08 presidential field? We'll tell you
tonight, only on Hardball, only on MSNBC.
