Pawlenty near bottom in CPAC Straw Poll

Gov. Pawlenty, who just spoke at CPAC this morning, was second to last in CPAC's annual straw poll. Pawlenty garnered two percent of the vote. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist was last with only one percent of those polled supporting him.

Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, won the poll. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was second. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Texas Congressman Ron Paul were tied for third.

You can find the results on CPAC's home page (sorry but the results are on a pop-up pdf).
