Brokaw, who has covered the conventions for the past four decades, and Matthews, who spent 15 years in politics and government before becoming a journalist, look back to the 1956 Democratic convention, John F. Kennedy lost his fight for the vice-presidential nomination, through 1980 Republican convention where candidate Ronald Reagan almost recruited former president Gerald Ford as his vice-presidential nominee; Brokaw and Matthews also reflect on the role of women at the conventions and on some of the most powerful political speeches of the 20th century. MSNBC SPECIAL: JOHN KERRY: BRINGING THE WAR HOME (9PM ET/6PM PT) Hosted by Brian Williams. A look at one of the defining chapters in John Kerry's life: his week in Washington in April, 1971, protesting the war as a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

Edward Kennedy, Pat Buchanan, John Dean, and John Kerry. BATTLEGROUND AMERICA: WINNING THE WHITE HOUSE (LIVE)(10PM ET/7PM PT) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5489841/ We'll take a look at the election the way political strategists and campaign gurus do- less in terms of the over-all popular vote, and more in terms of the state-by-state battles where, like it or not, not all states (and their electoral votes) are equal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Schedule Subject to Change. ========================================= For more info, go to http://www.msnbc.com/news/MSNBCCABLE_Front.asp This email is never sent unsolicited.
