The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Obama fired back at Bill Clinton today, calling the former president's recent
attacks on his record factually inaccurate and "troubling." Which campaign's
winning the war of words? We'll take a look at the latest polls in South
Carolina with Black America Web's Deborah Mathis and the Washington Post's
Eugene Robinson.
Then, the top three '08 Democratic candidates were in Columbia, S.C. today to
mark the Dr. Martin Luther King holiday. Hardball's David Shuster will report
on their speeches, and then we'll talk to the Chicago Tribune's Clarence Page
and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter about the issue of race in American
politics.
Florida's winner-take-all primary has the potential to play kingmaker among the
GOP candidates. Can McCain build off his South Carolina victory? Is this a
make-or-break contest for Giuliani? Top advisers from the Romney, McCain and
Giuliani campaigns will give you their strategies for winning the nomination.
We'll then take a special look at the legacy of Dr. King in our Politics Fix.
And don't miss tonight's Hardball Power Rankings live during the 7pm ET edition
of the show. After Nevada and South Carolina, we'll tell you who we think
stands the best chance of becoming the next President of the United States.
