Yeah, and it sounds like they were under political pressure to choose just one winner, so even the choice they made was a bit of a push for them.
If they had chosen just one winner, I presume that, given the inherently risk-averse nature of NASA and the political realities of lobbying and pork-spreading, it would have been Boeing. The same factors almost certainly meant that Boeing would have to be one of the two winners under the current plan.
