Tim Pawlenty finished far back in the field of possible 2012 Republican presidential contenders in a straw poll taken at the Conservative Political Action Committee annual conference Saturday in Washington D.C. In what MSNBC dubbed the "first cattle call" of the next presidential election, Pawlenty received just 2 percent of the vote. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won the straw poll of 1,757 conservative activists with 20 percent of the vote. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal finished second with 14 percent of the vote. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin tied for third with 13 percent. Also finishing ahead of Pawlenty were former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with 10 percent of the vote and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford with 7 percent each. Pawlenty isn't running for president — yet. He has said he will decide later this year whether to run for a third term as governor in 2010. He's considered a possible 2012 presidential contender because he received a lot of media attention last year when he made numerous campaign appearances for GOP presidential candidate John McCain. Pawlenty gave a 25-minute speech for the CPAC convention Saturday morning, where he talked about the need for Republicans to appeal to working-class voters. He also said the GOP must be the "party of fiscal discipline," a principle Democrats contend Pawlenty has abandoned by proposing a state budget that would leave the state with a $2.5 billion deficit in 2012-13.
