And the Republican 2012 presidential candidates are off—with former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty first out of the gate. Pawlenty, who led a Democratic-leaning state for two terms, announced March 21 that he has established a formal exploratory committee for a White House run. "We, the people of the United States, will take back our government," Pawlenty said in a music-infused announcement video posted on Facebook.

In the two-minute message, Pawlenty, 50, referenced the Founding Fathers, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan. He also discussed his own hardscrabble beginnings: His mom died of cancer when he was a teenager, his dad drove a truck, and Pawlenty paid his way through college by working in a grocery. A pro-life Christian, Pawlenty fought tax increases while governor. He pledged to give Americans "the freedom to work hard and get ahead without government getting in the way."
