As a wolf, he would have greater motivation to push one candidate over another in that spot. As a villager, without any logic to guide the vote other than keeping himself alive, I think self-preservation calls for getting himself further from the lead. That is best achieved (in my mind) by putting more people in front of him while retaining voting flexibility as deadline approaches to move another candidate further ahead later if he gets pushed back into the mix.

You're discounting the "Hunting" mechanic though hoops. You need to be further ahead than normal in this game.
