Governor Pawlenty is headed to Florida on Monday to raise money for the Republican Governor Association but he isn't giving the current GOP governor an endorsement.

Pawlenty was asked today if he'll back a Republican candidate in Florida's hotly contested Senate race. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist iand former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio are both vying for GOP backing in the U.S. Senate race in that state.

When asked if he is backing a candidate, Pawlenty responded "I have not." When asked if he'll decide to back one, he responded "I don't know."
