Gov. Tim Pawlenty has a big week of travel ahead. From a political action committee breakfast in DC, to an appearance before the pro-Israel lobby to a speech to an anti-abortion group and on to New Hampshire, the possible 2012 candidate can raise his profile among a select and important groups.

Here are the stops he has at his calendar:

On Monday, he was to have a "special breakfast" in Washington, DC, hosted by former U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman and the current Minnesota Republicans in Congress.

He was also to speak to the policy conference of the powerful American Israel Political Action Committee, the pro-Israel lobby. It appears Pawlenty was buffing "his foreign policy pitch to a roomful of AIPAC activists on the sideline of the group's annual policy conference," according to excerpts published by Capitol J.

On Wednesday, he'll buff his anti-abortion credentials by giving a speech to the Susan B. Anthony List in Washington DC. The organization made news Sunday when it decided to rescind the award it planned to give to U.S. rep. Bart Stupak, D-Michigan, who sponsored the anti-abortion language in the original health care bill but voted for the final bill passed Sunday without it. Supak was greeted with boos and cheers as he voiced support for the bill on the House floor Sunday.

On Thursday, Pawlenty is to be keynoter at the Manchester Republican Committee Lincoln-Reagan Day dinner in New Hampshire, that all important early voting state. The trip is his second to the Granite State since he announced he wouldn't run for a third term.
