He’s saying that pragmatically, he would vote for Huck to halt the McPain momentum that started in NH. He probably also dislikes NH having so much influence in the process. He thinks that voting for FDT in SC will split the anti-McPain forces and let McPain win. But in doing so, this could cause FDT to drop out next week. And endorse McPain too! It’s madness with these choices.
It's ridiculous amateur hour politiking. The guy's being too clever by half. That kind of thinking would never really enter into the head of a real Thompson supporter...sounds like a scenario the Romney team may find palatable.
