I think he said he had a decent chance at 2nd, not that he needed to place 2nd
I don't know that Fred even went that far but he may have and I missed it. I've gotten more than a little sick and tired, though, of Romney supporters claiming that Fred said that he had to place second. I didn't really expect that Romneyfor President2008 would be able to come up with any substantion for his claim.
