Just a thought. Not saying that's what's happening (I have no evidence to back that assertion, obviously, and it rests on a mountain of speculation), but it's at least a possibility.

Well ya, that is the assumption and its hard to say without good polling on who your "second choice would be" kind of questions. I would hazard a guess that if the others dropped though that Locke would garner the extra few percentage points pretty quick and same if Locke were to drop.
