The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Is Sen. Clinton the next Rocky Balboa?
Clinton cast herself as the legendary underdog today, saying that when it comes
to finishing a fight, "Rocky and I have a lot in common." Would a big
Pennsylvania win quiet calls for Clinton to drop out of the race? Tune in
tonight as we hear from one of Clinton's biggest Keystone state supporters,
Rep. John Murtha.
Pundits and comedians alike are still slamming Clinton for exaggerating the
circumstances surrounding her 1996 trip to Bosnia. Why is this story
resonating? Will it do lasting damage to Clinton's image?
Then, bowling for votes! Sen. Obama is hitting a populist pitch on his six-day
bus tour through Pennsylvania. Can he convince the state's blue-collar workers
that he's about more than just hope?
Plus, what kind of treatment can Pres. Bush expect from filmmaker Oliver Stone?
And why is Clinton telling Obama's campaign to "get out of the gutter?"
We'll take a look at these stories and the latest news from the campaign trail
in our Politics Fix.
And don't miss tomorrow's return of the Hardball College Tour! Tune in at 5pm
and 7pm ET for a full-hour with Sen. Obama live at West Chester University.
It's only on MSNBC - the place for politics.
