April is 2012 month in Minnesota

Everyone in Minnesota knows that Gov. Pawlenty's 2012 hopes are getting plenty of attention of Minnesota's press corps. But some of that attention will be shifting to other candidates in April. Three other Republicans who may be eyeing a run for the White House in 2012 will be visiting Minnesota in April.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is scheduled to campaign for GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann and raise money for Bachmann and the MNGOP on April 7th.

The Freedom Foundation of Minnesota also announced that Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, will sign books in Minnesota and speak at a dinner on April 9th.

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will also be speaking to the Minnesota Family Council dinner on April 26th.

For those wondering, here's a list of which states Pawlenty will be visiting in April. He's scheduled to speak in New Orleans, Iowa and Washington that month.

Side note:

It will also be a big month for the 2010 gubernatorial hopefuls. The DFL state party convention is scheduled to begin on April 23rd in Duluth. The MNGOP starts its state party convention on April 30th.
