Gov. Pawlenty was criticized by the conservative RedState and other blogs after he told reporters that he said he didn't know enough about the candidates in New York State's 23rd congressional district race to make an endorsement. The race features the Republican Party endorsed Dede Scozzafava and Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. Hoffman received backing from Sarah Palin and GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann. Former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich is backing Scozzafava.
ABC News has now posted video of Pawlenty saying he still doesn't know enough about the candidates but may endorse a candidate in the race soon. He added that he has concerns about Scozzafava(Pawlenty's interview starts about three minutes in). Pawlenty also addresses immigration, health care and Afghanistan.
