Pawlenty advances...

Posted at 11:22 AM on March 30, 2009 by Tom Scheck (2 Comments)

Gov. Pawlenty advanced in NPR's 2012 GOP Primary bracket. He now faces South Carolina Sen. Jim Demint. The voting on this appears to be a bit sketchy, however. Some of the biggest GOP heavy weights have lost (Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal were all bounced in the first two rounds).

NPR's Ken Rudin writes that there may have been a little funny business going on with the voting.

You should have done just one ranked voting (IRV) from one IP address. This poll begs for "freeping", that would give you very skewed results like Sarah Palin dropping out in the first round.

As long as Ron Paul wins, I'm happy.

We need to win CPAC 2010 for Ron Paul. The MittWitts will try to take it over against like the 2009 one, but we can't let that happen again.
