Gov. Tim Pawlenty will be traveling to Washington in March to beef up his cred among anti-abortion activists at the Susan B. Anthony List’s third annual Campaign for Life Gala. The SBA List funds anti-abortion candidates around the country and is considered the counterpart to abortion rights group EMILY’s List.
“We’re so pleased to have Gov. Tim Pawlenty headline our Campaign for Life Gala,” Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser told Politico. “The governor’s actions on behalf of Minnesota women and unborn children are exemplary.”
Aside from Pawlenty, Reps. Michele Bachmann and James Oberstar will likely be in attendance as both serve on the group’s advisory board.
Here’s Bachmann’s speech to the attendees of the 2008 gala:

Andy, are you announcing ALL of the Governors speaking engagements? . . . or just the ones to which you object?

Pawlenty’s a sitting governor with presidential ambitions: we should be covering campaign-relevant events like this, just as we’ve covered his pre-RNC speech, his Values Voters Summit speech, his upcoming CPAC speech, speeches in Iowa and New Hampshire, and a host of others. Where Pawlenty speaks seems germane to both his national ambitions and how he may frame his presidential candidacy, should there be one, in 2012, doesn’t it?

As a Minnesotan I’m sort of interested in what Pawlenty is doing instead of his job as governor. I just with the guy had th honesty to do what Pallin did and stop taking the states money for not doing his job.

From the looks of the comment from “Amuseinc”, it appears that the Governor should be spending more time trying to get the Department of Education to work harder toward a competency-based pay system for public school teachers.
And, Paul, thanks for the response. It just seemed that you were picking on him for his position on abortion. I hope he DOESN’T become a candidate for the race in 2012. He is no stronger than McCain was.
