On the heels of his endorsement of John McCain’s reelection bid, CNN reports that Tim Pawlenty is heading to Iowa:

The Minnesota governor will return to Iowa on April 17 as the keynote speaker at the “2010 Iowa Taxpayers’ Day,” a Des Moines event put on by Iowans for Tax Relief. Iowa’s Republican gubernatorial candidates will also be at the event. It’s Pawlenty’s second trip to Iowa as a potential 2012 candidate; he spoke at an Iowa Republican Party event in Des Moines last November.

Tonight, Pawlenty is speaking in Missouri. Tomorrow he will stop by a Nevada GOP dinner. Next month, he will be in New Hampshire and Texas. No word, yet, on whether brie will be served at any of the above.
