Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty's 2012 presidential campaign said its ads will stop airing in Iowa in advance of next Saturday's Iowa Straw Poll. Spokesman Alex Conant said the decision to stop the ads was made because the campaign is "focusing our resources towards getting our supporters to the straw poll. We like the position we're in and the direction we're headed."
As word came that Pawlenty is pulling his TV advertising, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann's presidential campaign unveiled a new TV ad that began airing yesterday throughout Iowa promoting her opposition to raising the debt ceiling.
