The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Geraldine Ferraro blasted her way into the debate over race and gender today,
refusing to back off controversial comments about Sen. Obama and his place in
the presidential field. Can this prominent Clinton supporter and fundraiser
keep her ties to the campaign? And what does this story say about identity
politics in the '08 race? We'll bring in our panel to discuss.
Sen. Obama won Mississippi by double-digits yesterday, racking up his second
win since last week's pivotal March 4th primary. With six weeks until the next
contest, where do the candidates go from here? We'll talk campaign strategy
with Obama supporter Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and Clinton supporter Rep.
Kendrick Meek (D-FL).
Next, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) announced his resignation today after
being caught in a prostitution scandal earlier this week. NBC's Mike Taibbi
will bring you the latest news and then we'll turn to New York Rep. Pete King
(R) for more on the potential fallout.
Plus, why is "Dr. Death" looking for a seat on Capitol Hill? And what unlikely
group gave Sen. Clinton a boost during yesterday's election?
We'll take a look at these stories and yesterday's exit poll numbers in our
Politics Fix.
