The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Tonight: are Democrats divided?
As the party's nomination brawl stretches on, will Sen. Obama and Sen.
Clinton's war-of-words do lasting damage to their candidacies? Could it end up
costing Democrats the White House? Congress?
Amidst worries about a looming recession, all three presidential candidates
addressed their plans to jumpstart the economy. Hardball's David Shuster will
have the report and then we'll ask the experts to rate the candidates' pledges.
Next, Sen. McCain often touts his "maverick" credentials, but is McCain as free
of lobbyist influences as he professes to be? We'll ask two longtime Washington
reporters whether McCain will be vulnerable on this issue during the general
election.
Plus, which recent tabloid regular could have a future on NBC's "30 Rock?" And
which former GOP rival is joining McCain on the stump?
We'll break down these stories and take a closer look at the Clinton fundraiser
letter to Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) in our Politics Fix.
