The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up: Obama picks his team!
As the country struggles with perhaps the worst economic crisis since the Great
Depression, people are asking: Who's in charge? Tonight, NBC News' Andrea
Mitchell and Chuck Todd bring you the latest on President-elect Obama's
economic and national security team picks.
Next, who is currently in charge of the U.S. economy? Who should lead us out of
this economic mess? President Bush? Secretary Paulson? Congress? Or is it now
time for Barack Obama to take responsibility? We'll ask Rep. Jan Schakowsky
(D-IL) and Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA).
Plus, has Hillary Clinton accepted the position of secretary of State? Is this
a smart move? What does the Clinton pick mean for Vice President-elect Biden?
The Chicago Tribune's Jill Zuckman and Mother Jones' David Corn will debate the
pros and cons of the pick.
For the New York Times article on Clinton:

Also, we'll go behind the headlines in the Politics Fix to tell you what these
latest Obama appointments really mean. Tonight our roundtable includes MSNBC
Political Analysts Michael Smerconish and Michelle Bernard.
Plus, maybe Sarah Palin should just quit interviews cold turkey. If you haven't
seen the video you may or may not want to. We'll have Palin's now-infamous
turkey pardon in the Hardball Sideshow!
