Pawlenty advances…
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.
