In what might be a first for a possible 2012 candidate, Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced Monday that he'll hold a Facebook town hall Wednesday.

From his Facebook page:

Join Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty on Wednesday night for his first ever "Facebook Town Hall" meeting.

Governor Pawlenty will make a major announcement over Facebook and will seek input from Facebook uses on helping Republicans win the 2010 elections and stop runaway Washington spending.

Minnesota gubernatorial candidates have held several similar town halls in the quest to replace Pawlenty in the governor's office.

Question: What would be good turnout for the Pawlenty event? A few dozen? A few hundred? A few thousand? Pawlenty now has 31,488 Facebook fans.
