Tim Pawlenty dropped out of the Republican presidential race on Sunday after a disappointing third-place finish in the Iowa straw poll. The former Minnesota governor had invested heavily in Iowa, and said he needed a strong showing to attract the campaign donations necessary to keep going. Pawlenty, who touted his success as a Republican governor in a Democratic state, was once considered a potential mainstream GOP alternative to frontrunner Mitt Romney.
