GOP pushes back on Palin

Gov. Pawlenty, former Mass. Gov Mitt Romney, former PA Gov. Tom Ridge, former Ohio Rep. Rob Portman and Michigan Congressman Pete Hoekstra defend Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's credentials to Minnesota's delegation. It appears to be an effort to push back on the press attention on her background and daughter.

Palin is scheduled to speak tonight.
