Potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty is a guest tonight on "Piers Morgan Tonight" and he responds to today's poll that puts him at just 2% (compared to Donald Trump at 19%). "Our trajectory is kind of a tortoise and hare strategy," he tells Piers Morgan. As for Trump: "I think he's funny, I think he's exciting, he's obviously very successful. I think he'd bring a lot to the debate." (Then, he comments on Trump's recent "birther" rhetoric and makes a hair joke.)
