The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Lucky 21?
As the Democratic candidates gear up for their 21st debate of the primary
season, a slew of new polls suggest that Sen. Clinton's recent hits on Sen.
Obama could be backfiring. Will Sen. Clinton ignore the numbers and step up her
attacks tonight? Will Sen. Obama seek to deliver a knock-out blow?
Next, Pope Benedict XVI comes to Washington! Over 9,000 gathered today at the
White House to greet the Pope during his first papal visit to the U.S. Tune
tonight in as Hardball spotlights the nation's 65 million Catholics and their
potential impact on the '08 election.
And in case you missed it, Sen. John McCain made headlines during our College
Tour last night. Hardball's David Shuster will report on the highlights and
then we'll bring you reaction from Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), who blasted Sen.
McCain on foreign policy yesterday.
Plus, who is "The Boss" backing for President? And which campaign was caught
cooking the books?
We'll break down these stories and the latest back-and-forth of the '08
campaign trail during tonight's Politics Fix.
