The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up tonight - the debate over the debate. We'll bring you the latest news.
And with Congress debating if they should "bailout" Wall Street, the new
NBC-WSJ poll shows Americans feel that they're in a state of decline. What does
this mean for the '08 race? NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd will break
it all down for you.
We'll also talk to Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) for
latest on the $700 billion bailout bill.
And assuming the debate does happen on Friday, what do Obama and McCain need to
do to be seen as the winner? Democratic strategist Jenny Backus and Republican
consultant Mike Paul have both prepared candidates for debates - they'll be on
hand tonight to give us a sense of the behind-the-scenes action.
Plus on the Hardball Sideshow, a bit of election day-football trivia.
And in the Politics Fix, we'll look at today's dramatic developments and tell
you what it means for the presidential race.
Tune in to MSNBC tonight for full coverage of President Bush's address at 9
p.m. ET.
