Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN), a potential presidential candidate in 2012, will be making another trip outside of Minnesota, to visit Republicans in another state.
Pawlenty will speak to the North Dakota Republican Party convention, which will be held on March 21. This will be Pawlenty’s first trip to North Dakota since he announced last year that he would not run for re-election as governor.
It should be noted that North Dakota was a Super Tuesday state during the 2008 primary season. Mitt Romney won the state’s Republican caucuses with a plurality of 36% in a four-way race.
