Pawlenty to hold town hall meeting on Facebook

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is holding a town hall meeting on Facebook.

Pawlenty's Facebook page says the potential Republican presidential candidate will convene the online gathering on Wednesday. The page is linked to his national fundraising committee.

The notice says Pawlenty will ask Facebook users for ideas to help Republicans win this year's elections and slow federal spending.

Pawlenty has ruled out a third term as governor and has been traveling the country to speak to GOP audiences.
