------------------------------------------------------
Tonight, it's McCain and The New York Times. You can check out the story here

We'll bring you reaction from attorney Bob Bennett, who is representing McCain
in matters relating the the Times story. NBC's David Gregory and Andrea
Mitchell will then tell you how today's events may impact the McCain campaign
and the '08 race.
Why did the New York Times story come out today? Who are the anonymous aides
cited throughout the piece? We'll hear from New Republic editor Franklin Foer,
whose magazine ran a behind-the-scenes story
<http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=8b7675e4-36de-43f5-afdd-2a2cd2b96a24>
on the Times newsroom today, and MSNBC political analyst Mike Barnicle.
Next, after losing 10 straight primary contests, will Clinton go on the attack
during tonight's debate? Tune in for Democratic race analysis with radio talk
show hosts Ed Schultz and Kevin Miller.
Plus, which campaign spouse made a visit to the Hooters Casino Hotel this
weekend? And why is Clinton telling voters to "get real?"
We'll take a closer look at the the New York Times report on McCain and preview
the Democratic Debate during our Politics Fix.
