The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up tonight - morale and the markets!
After yet another week of big plans, wary rhetoric and dismal economic news,
American morale looks to be pretty low. Has the time come for President Obama
to stop downplaying expectations and bring back back a little hope? CNBC's Rick
Santelli - who's been pretty outspoken of late - and Politico's Roger Simon
will weigh in.

join us to discuss their new book, "The Last Lion," a biography of Sen. Ted
Kennedy (D-MA). You won't want to miss this!

And in the Politics Fix, we'll be joined by the Washington Post's Perry Bacon
and USA Today's Susan Page to talk about the New York Post's apology for that
controversial cartoon.
Plus, remember Nate Silver from five-thirty-eight.com? He's the guy who nailed
the popular vote in this year's election. We'll take a look at his Oscars
predictions tonight in the Hardball Sideshow.
