Political Checklist: Will Republicans Support Obama's Jobs Plan?

Political Editor David Chalian and Senior Correspondents Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff take a look at the politics behind President Obama's new jobs plan: can he successfully frame opposition to his plan as opposition to economic recovery? And how will Republicans respond? They also preview Monday's CNN/Tea Party Express Republican presidential debate in Tampa Bay, Fla.
