Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has spent a lot of time on the road since deciding not to seek a third term. He's traveled the country, spoke at key Republican meetings and wrote a book, feeding rumors that Pawlenty is trying to build his national profile so he can seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. Minnesota Public Radio News is keeping a running list of all Pawlenty's scheduled engagements.
