This referred to a statement earlier in the day when he said he would henceforth distinguish between those Republican candidates he was "for" and those he was "enthusiastically...

In New Hampshire and Vermont (where he owns the Burlington News and St. Albans Messenger) he has frequently supported Democrats for state office.
