The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up - making progress?
As the price tag for the President's stimulus package climbs above the $900
billion mark, the Senate nears its vote on the bill. Will it pass? We'll get
the insider's scoop from MSNBC's Laurence O'Donnell and the Politico's Jeanne
Cummings.
We'll also ask Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC) why he's opposed to the
legislation.

starting to find his Presidential voice? We'll take an in-depth look.

Oval Office attire? We'll bring it to you in the Hardball Sideshow.
