Is Tim Pawlenty Running for President?: Yes and No

Tim Pawlenty told Piers Morgan on CNN he is running for President.



“I’m running for president,” the former Minnestoa governor told CNN host Piers Morgan. “I’m not putting my hat in the ring rhetorically or ultimately for vice president. I’m focused on running for president.”

Apparently his staff didn't get the memo. His spokesman Alex Conant told CNN that no official announcement has been made, and they will decide and make the announcement later in the spring.

Pawlenty is polling at 2% according to the poll CNN used.
