Pawlenty is campaigning for Christie today in New Jersey

Gov. Tim Pawlenty is in New Jersey today, campaigning for that state's GOP gubernatorial candidate, Chris Christie.

CNN reports Pawlenty will join Christie on the campaign trail at a meet and greet with volunteers in Bergen County, New Jersey. Christie, a former U.S. attorney for New Jersey, is trying to unseat Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine in November.

Minnesota's governor is not seeking a third term in 2010, but he'll be spending time helping other GOP candidates for governor across the country in his role as vice chairman of the Republican Governors Association.
