Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty will continue to raise his national profile by traveling to New Jersey next week to campaign for Republican gubernatorial candidate, Chris Christie.
Pawlenty made his comment to reporters after his weekly radio show at the Minnesota State Fair. He didn't give any details.
As for other 2012 contenders, Mitt Romney endorsed Christie in his primary race against the, arguably, more conservative, Steve Lonegan, and has raised money for Christie, as well.
Christie's campaign was less thrilled in July about any potential visit from Sarah Palin.
Palin associates say her decision to quit as Alaska governor was partly driven by her wish to help Republican candidates across the country.
But Christie says the failed vice presidential candidate would detract from the New Jersey issues he wants to emphasize.
We'll see if other 2012 candidates jet on over to NJ, and more importantly, whether the Christie campaign rolls out the welcome mat.
