Tonight on Hardball: The hotly debated tax deal met the crucial 60-vote mark in the Senate—enough to move the bill toward passage in the House, if Democrats and Republicans can come up with the necessary 218 votes. Can they do it? We'll ask Sen. Michael Bennett (D-CO) and Bob Greenstein from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Then: Fmr. Pres. Clinton made waves last week when he stood behind the podium with Pres. Obama and gave a thumbs up to Pres. Obama's tax deal. Was the double-team enough to win over fellow Democrats?
Plus: A federal district judge in Virginia ruled the individual mandate portion of the health care law is unconstitutional. It's a victory for Republicans, but there's a ways to go. We'll discuss what's ahead.
And then: After a season of noise from both political extremes, is the political middle gaining steam? We'll talk with two Republicans who lost their primary races after moving toward the political middle, Gov. Charlie Crist (I-FL) and Rep. Bob Inglis (R-SC). And on the Sideshow tonight: The best political quotes of the year. Don't miss it!
