GOP's Anderson sketches out bid for Minn. governor
Exactly one year from the 2010 election, former State Auditor Pat Anderson is sketching out what she'd do as Minnesota governor.
Anderson sets off Monday on a 14-city tour covering four days. She's the only Republican in the field who has won a statewide race before.
She has been chasing GOP delegate support for months and finished third in an early October straw poll at a Republican state convention.
Anderson served one term as auditor. She won the office in 2002 and lost a reelection bid in 2006.
Republicans will endorse a candidate in April. There are eight declared candidates.
Incumbent Gov. Tim Pawlenty isn't seeking another term.
