Tim Pawlenty says he's staying out of the 2012 campaign -- all of the campaigns, actually. After dropping out of the presidential race this week, the former Minnesota governor said he won't be challenging freshman Sen. Amy Klobuchar for her seat, either. "I don't know what I will be doing next," Pawlenty told the Associated Press's Brian Baskt. "However, I will not be running against Amy in 2012."
