------------------------------------------------------ The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC ------------------------------------------------------
First up - a big week! Has President Obama's health care win given strength to his agenda? We'll ask MSNBC political analyst Richard Wolffee and Time Magazine's Mark Halperin to weigh in. Next - health care reform has not only bolstered the President, but it appears to have energized the Democratic base. Can they carry the momentum into the midterms? Former DNC Communucations Director Karen Finney and Republican consultant Ron Bonjean will weigh in. Plus, is tea party anger about opposition to health care or is it about changing demographics in the country? Princeton Professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell and radio talk show host Dana Loesch will debate that one. Also, Mitt Romney's got a problem on his hands. As governor of Massachussets, he signed a health insurance mandate into law that's very similar to the plan in the national health care reform bill. We'll ask the Boston Globe's Peter Canellos and the Washington Post's Anne Kornblut to discuss what this means for Romney's political future. And guess which politician donned a wig and bellbottoms for charity. We'll bring you the tape in the Hardball Sideshow.
