The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
The Penn runs out!
Sen. Clinton's chief strategist resigned this weekend after it was disclosed
that his work for a PR firm conflicted with the senator's trade stance. With
less than 15 days before Pennsylvania's crucial primary, what does this mean
for the Clinton strategy going forward? Will the story prove to be a costly
distraction for the campaign?
Tomorrow top Iraq commander Gen. David Petraeus is expected to tell Congress
that it is too early to cut U.S. troops back to pre-surge levels. Will the war
once again take center stage in the '08 campaign? If so, which candidate stands
to benefit? Hardball's David Shuster will preview tomorrow's testimony and then
we'll talk to two veterans who have very different views on the success of the
surge.
Sen. Obama picked up yet another superdelegate endorsement today - when will
the other 313 uncommitted superdelegates make their choice?
Plus, which candidate was called out for using an embellished health care story
on the stump? And will Sen. Vitter's prostitute-scandal make headlines once
again?
We'll break down these stories and take a look at the latest primary state
polling in the Politics Fix.
Also, don't miss the Hardball Power Rankings live during the 7pm ET edition of
the show. We'll tell you which '08 candidate had the worst week, which one had
the best week and who's coasting in between.
