Gov. Pawlenty's spokesman, Brian McClung, said Gov. Pawlenty has canceled this weekend's trip to South Carolina. The decision was made in light of a Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that ruled his unilateral budget cuts were unlawful.

Pawlenty, a possible candidate for the White House in 2012, was scheduled to speak at two fundraisers in Columbia, South Carolina this weekend.

Oh, sh*t, you mean Pawlenty was inconvenienced enough to actually come back home to do some governing? Boy, His Royal Highness must be pissed! Another day or two of glad-handing and he might have been able to overtake Ron Paul in the next straw poll. Now with this distraction, who knows?? It's all thrown into chaos!!
