What comes after Iowa?

Gov. Pawlenty has scheduled a December trip to New Hampshire. Political consultant Michael Dennehy, who was a senior adviser to John McCain in 2008, confirmed that Pawlenty will be the keynote speaker a fund-raiser for the Republican Senate Majority Committee on December 16th.

"His presence in New Hampshire will help support the State Senate Republican Party in their effort to retake the New Hampshire Senate," Dennehy said.

Dennehy said he wasn't aware of any other events scheduled. When asked if we should read anything into Pawlenty's visit to the critical presidential state Dennehy said "That's not for me to say."
