CPAC says Pawlenty a confirmed speaker at February meeting

The Conservative Political Action Conference says Gov. Pawlenty is confirmed to speak at the 2010 conference in February. It's one of the largest gatherings of conservative activists in the country. The conference agenda hasn't been set yet so it's not clear when Pawlenty will be speaking.

CPAC will be held just days before the National Governors Association's Winter Meetings will convene in Washington D.C.

Pawlenty spoke at CPAC's event last year. You can listen to that speech here.

The group also takes a straw poll of possible presidential candidates. Pawlenty, who has not ruled out a run for president in 2012, polled near the bottom in last year's CPAC straw poll.
