The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Tonight: answering for the war!
Gen. Petraeus faced another day of intense grilling from lawmakers on the
future of the U.S. mission in Iraq. Is success in Iraq as close as John McCain
says? Does a pause in troop withdrawals signal the U.S. is committed to an
open-ended war? Tune in for reaction from Senate Foreign Relations Chair Joe
Biden (D-DE).
Then, Clinton vs. Clinton! Bill Clinton supports a free trade pact that his
wife now opposes. How do their policy disagreements affect the campaign? Will
Bill's stance damage Sen. Clinton's relationship with union workers?
And as San Francisco braces for protests surrounding the Olympic torch relay,
what will the political fallout be back in Washington? Hardball's David Shuster
will bring you the full report.
Plus, which comedian offered up his services as an '08 speechwriter? And which
Democratic candidate is the "odds-on" favorite?
We'll take a look at these stories and the latest primary polling in the
Politics Fix.
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.
