The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up, has mudslinging become politics as usual?
Hardball's David Shuster will bring you the latest on 2008's negative campaign
tactics, and then we'll hear from two experts on the art of dirty tricks -
former opposition researcher Mike Paul and Alan Raymond, author of "How to Rig
and Election."
Next, the new MSNBC/McClatchy poll numbers are out! Who's leading the pack in
South Carolina? We'll break down the numbers with NBC News Political Director
Chuck Todd and the National Journal's Linda Douglass.
With the South Carolina GOP primary just two days away, we'll take a look at
the crowded Republican field with MSNBC's Tucker Carlson and Joe Scarborough.
Plus, why is Obama comparing himself to Ronald Reagan? And was Giuliani's
strategy always about Florida?
We'll take a look at these stories and more in our Politics Fix.
