------------------------------------------------------ The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC ------------------------------------------------------
First - the elephant(s) in the room! More than a dozen speakers took the stage at the annual Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC) in New Orleans over the weekend. What did we learn from the conference about the future of the Republican Party? MSNBC's Political Director Howard Fineman and political analyst Eugene Robinson will score this one. And, the retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens leaves a Supreme Court vacancy. We'll talk about President Obama's nomination with George Washington University professor Jonathan Turley. And, just in case you haven't heard . Tina Fey was back at it over the weekend reprising her role as former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. Don't miss it in the Sideshow! Plus, are Republicans telling whoppers? We'll get down to the truth on tonight's Hardball. And today, 47 world leaders are gathered in Washington D.C. to meet with President Obama at the Nuclear Security Summit. The President hopes to conclude the summit with tighter international controls, which will make it more difficult for terrorists to obtain materials needed to construct nuclear weapons. Can world leaders keep arms away from the bad guys? ========================================= This e-mail is never sent unsolicited.
