Gov. Pawlenty is headed to Oregon this week. He'll be attending the Education Commission of the States National Forum on Education Policy in Portland. The forum runs Wednesday through Friday. Pawlenty is the chair of the organization.

During his trip to Oregon, Pawlenty will also hold a breakfast fundraiser for Republican gubernatorial hopeful Chris Dudley.

Pawlenty, who appears to be ramping up a run for the White House in 2012, is also polling at the back of the pack. A CNN poll found that Pawlenty trails Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul. Pawlenty, who has three percent support in the poll, is also tied with Haley Barbour and Mike Pence.

Here's the full poll.

Ron Paul, that's who America needs. It's time to break the status quo in Washington. Ron Paul is not a 'establishment' republican. He has a far clearer vision of the times and he minces no words to tell it like it is. He won't make any promises he can't keep. Ron Paul 2012!
