Pawlenty cancels his trip to South Carolina

Gov. Pawlenty's spokesman, Brian McClung, said Gov. Pawlenty has canceled this weekend's trip to South Carolina. The decision was made in light of a Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that ruled his unilateral budget cuts were unlawful.

Pawlenty, a possible candidate for the White House in 2012, was scheduled to speak at two fundraisers in Columbia, South Carolina this weekend.
