Organizers for The Conservative Political Action Conference has invited Gov. Pawlenty to speak at their February event in Washington D.C. He spoke at the event last year and a source says he's expected to speak at the event again this year.
The event is one of the biggest for conservative activists in the country. They also hold a straw poll of potential presidential candidates every year. Last year, Pawlenty finished near the bottom in the poll.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
