GOP's Internal Talking Points For Delegates About Palin Family

Not surprisingly, the Republicans have created a few talking points for high-profile delegates and surrogates who are asked about Gov. Palin's family.

Note, too, that the Alaska delegation underwent four hours of media training on Sunday night.

These delegates are more savvy and more on-message than we might think.

Here are the talking points:
