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.
