The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up, if Hillary Clinton becomes Secretary of State, what does that mean
for Bill?
Tonight we'll bring you the latest reporting on a possible cabinet position for
Sen. Clinton and the potential conflicts involving her husband's foundation.
We'll also bring you reaction from Rep. Gregory Meeks(D-NY) and Rep. Dan Burton
(R-IN).

Then, they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer: what are we to
make of today's conference between Obama and the man he defeated for the
presidency - Sen. John McCain? Will the former GOP candidate be working from a
new position come January? Atlanta Journal Constitution's Cynthia Tucker and
the Chicago Sun Times' Lynn Sweet will be on hand to discuss the meeting
between the victor and the vanquished.

And what do Blackberries and Baby Booms have in common? President-elect, Barack
Obama! We'll take a look at those stories plus how Saturday Night Live is
coping post-election season in the Hardball Sideshow.
Later, will there be a bailout for the Big Three? Democrats are calling for a
portion of the $700 billion bailout to go to the American automotive industry
while Republicans claim another handout will start a chain reaction with no end
in sight. Should Washington abandon Detroit? We'll debate this issue with James
L. Gattuso from The Heritage Foundation, and Economist Professor Jeffrey Sachs.

Plus, the possibility that Barack Obama may pick Hillary Clinton to be his
Secretary of State has a lot of people asking, "Whatever happened to change we
can believe in?" Vanity Fair's Christopher Hitchens has asked that question
already and he'll join us along with Time Magazine's Peter Beinart to discuss
the issue in the Politics Fix.
