------------------------------------------------------ The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC ------------------------------------------------------
Sen. Clinton's heated campaign rhetoric spilled onto the debate stage last night during her final showdown with Sen. Obama before next week's primary contests in Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island. Is Clinton in position for comeback victories? Is Sen. McCain's jab at Obama today a sign of what's to come if McCain gets the nomination? Newsweek's Howard Fineman and MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell will join us tonight for a look at the '08 race. Pennsylvania is split as to which candidate to support for the Democratic nomination. Tonight, Reps. Patrick Murphy (D-PA), an Obama supporter, and Joe Sestak (D-PA), a Clinton supporter, debate about who's best. McCain has earned the ire of conservative talk show hosts yet again by denouncing a surrogate's harsh attacks on Obama. Hardball's David Shuster will bring you the story and then we'll hear from MSNBC's Pat Buchanan and radio talk show host Michael Smerconish. William F. Buckley, founder of the modern conservative movement, died today at the age of 82. Tonight we'll take a special look back at his life and impact had on American politics.
