Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota made a plea on Saturday for more of his likely Republican presidential rivals to join him next week in what was to be the first big debate of the 2012 campaign season but is now threatening to be a relatively sparsely attended affair.
Earlier this week the Fox News Channel executive in charge of the debate, Michael Clemente, said that several candidates had expressed interest, including Herman Cain, a former chief executive of Godfathers Pizza, and Representative Ron Paul of Texas. So Mr. Pawlenty will not be alone.
