T-Paw Quits the GOP Presidential Race

One down, many to go. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is out of the presidential race.

He said this early this morning:

"I wish it would have been different. But obviously the pathway forward for me doesn't really exist so we are going to end the campaign."

Pawlenty senior adviser Phil Musser told The Huffington Post that the Minnesota Republican "just wasn't willing to risk debt to soldier on -- part of why he would have been a good president."
