The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up, the Gang of 10!
A group of five liberal and five moderate democrats have banded together to try
and reach a compromise on the public option. Can this group help pass health
care? Is it possible that a Republican vote might be onboard to reform health
care? We'll play Hardball with Senators Bernard Sanders (I-VT) and Sheldon
Whitehouse (D-RI) on the developments in health care reform.

Next, Afghanistan.
The orders have been issued. 30,000 reinforcements are going to Afghanistan.
The politics of the "surge" are not over though. We'll analyze the fight over
the "surge" with The Daily Beast's Peter Beinart and Washington Post's Anne
Kornblut.

Plus, the Palin tour continues.
Is Sarah Palin preparing for a 2012? She visited Iowa over the weekend and
joked about herself at the Gridiron Club on Saturday. She's going inside and
outside the beltway. Her polling numbers are improving as well. We'll discuss
Palin's tour and possible run in 2012 with Washington Bureau Chief of USA Today
Susan Page and Politico's Jonathan Martin.

Finally, in the Politics Fix, we'll talk about sex in the Senate as Senators
Max Baucus (D-MT) and John Ensign (R-NV) have controversies, health care, and
the rest of the day's political news with MSNBC Political Analyst Howard
Fineman and Washington Post's Eugene Robinson.
