A spokesman for Governor Pawlenty's John McCain's campaign says Pawlenty will fly to New Hamsphire on Friday evening. He will then campaign with McCain over the weekend and return to Minnesota on Sunday night. The spokesman says Pawlenty will introduce McCain at townhall meetings scheduled in New Hampshire. New Hampshire holds its primary on January 8th, and recent poll numbers show McCain surging there. McCain's campaign has had a resurgence of late after struggling to find its footing over the summer. McCain is among five Republicans considered serious contenders for the party's nomination.
Pawlenty is the co-chair of McCain's presidential committee. He has campaigned on his behalf in Iowa, Michigan and New Hampshire.
