US Republican Pawlenty raps rival BachmannPawlenty, a former governor of Minnesota, is competing for the same conservative voters as Bachmann in the early voting state of Iowa. Bachmann, also from Minnesota and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, is running neck-and-neck in Iowa with front-runner Mitt Romney while Pawlenty had only 6 percent support among Republican voters in a recent poll by the Des Moines Register. “Well, I like Congresswoman Bachmann. I've campaigned for her. I respect her, but her record of accomplishment in Congress is nonexistent. It's nonexistent,” Pawlenty told NBC's “Meet the Press.”
