It's shaping up to be a big political weekend for Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, who's a possible Republican candidate for president. But some of his plans are changing.
The governor is making a much-anticipated visit to Iowa. That's the site of the country's first presidential caucuses in 2012. Pawlenty is the keynote speaker at the Iowa Republican Party's yearly dinner in Des Moines.
However, the governor's planned trip to Mexico is off. Pawlenty had planned to head south of the border to talk about trade partnerships next week, but his office said Mexico's president had to cancel because of a scheduling conflict.
