Pawlenty's slow travel schedule

A few months back, Gov. Tim Pawlenty said he'd slow down his political travel during the legislative session.

The exchange:

Q: Are you planning on slowing down or changing your travel schedule nationally during the session?

Pawlenty: Yes. But I mean, keep in mind the message isn't that. Its: Does the work get done? And again given the number of hours I've put in there is no work that doesn't get done.

Here's Pawlenty's slower out-of-state travel schedule for the coming months:

Feb. 18, Washington, DC -- evening reception at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference

Feb. 19, Washington, DC -- speaking at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference.

Feb. 27, Las Vegas, NV -- speaking at the Nevada Republican Party dinner.

March 6, Dallas, Texas -- "special guest" at the Dallas County Republican fundraiser.

March 24, Washington, DC -- featured at the Susan B. Anthony fundraiser.

March 25, Manchester, New Hampshire -- keynoter at the Manchester Republican Committee Lincoln-Reagan Day dinner.

April 8-11, New Orleans, Louisiana -- speaking at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. (Not clear which day he is speaking.)
