Wiki seems to suggest Pawlenty is Baptist.It has already been noted that the Minnesotan Tim Pawlenty is a Lutheran, and he actually ran for the Republican nomination, so there's that. Curiously, he appears to be the only Minnesotan to run for President with a serious shot at (your mileage may vary) it to actually be a Lutheran.
I haven't been able to pin down Walter Mondale's religion, but despite him being of Norwegian stock, his father was a Methodist minister, and his brother was a Unitarian minister. So I'd put him down as likely non-Lutheran. Similarly, despite being of Norwegian stock, Hubert Humphrey attended Methodist churches. Harold Stassen, another Minnesotan, wasn't of Scandinavian heritage at all, but Bohemian German, and he was a Baptist. Eugene McCarthy, who challenged LBJ in 1968 and later Bobby Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey, was a Roman Catholic.
