Pawlenty, 50, is respected by political insiders and could emerge as one of his party's strongest candidates, although he has been near the bottom of the pack of potential Republican challengers in public opinion polls.

Pawlenty, known as "T-Paw" to his supporters, was a popular two-term governor in a Democratic-leaning state, giving him credibility as a Republican who can attract vital support from independent voters.

Associated Press story actually mentions Ron Paul as a candidate. Fails to mention Herman Cain.

He sure is making a lot of small government noises. Does his record as governor support it?
