The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Gen. Petraeus goes to Washington: Round Two.
The top commander in Iraq warned lawmakers today against withdrawing U.S.
troops too quickly, saying the improved security situation was both "fragile
and reversible."
Tune in during the 7 pm edition of the show as we bring you live reaction from
Sens. Jim Webb (D-VA), John Ensign (R-NV), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), and Mark
Pryor (D-AR).
All three presidential candidates had an opportunity to question Gen. Petraeus
and Amb. Crocker. Did Sen. McCain really confuse Shi'ite and Sunni again? Do
Sens. Obama and Clinton differ in their withdrawal strategy? We'll break it all
down for you tonight.
Then, new Pennsylvania polls show Sen. Clinton's lead in Pennsylvania
shrinking. With just two weeks to go before the Keystone State's primary, is
Sen. Obama closing the gap?
Plus, which '08 candidate is the last "American Idol" holdout? And how do
"swing voters" feel about a timetable for withdrawal?
Tune in to the Politics Fix tonight for an in-depth look at these stories and
the future of the Iraq war.
And, don't miss the next installment of Hardball's College Tour with Sen. John
McCain at Villanova University on April 15th. It's only on Hardball, only on
MSNBC.
