Posted at 12:09 PM on February 26, 2009 by Tom Scheck (2 Comments)

The Conservative Political Action Conference is this weekend. A large number of GOP heavy hitters will attend the event. GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann will be the Master of Ceremonies for an event dubbed "The Presidential Banquet."

Gov. Pawlenty is scheduled to speak on Saturday morning. The Boston Globe says Pawlenty will also appear on CPAC's 2012 presidential straw poll :

"This year, the winner will be anointed the very early front-runner for 2012. The ballot includes besides Romney and Giuliani, Florida Governor Charlie Crist, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Texas Representative Ron Paul, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. There's also "Undecided" and a space on the ballot for write-ins."
