confederation path selection and Admin distance?

I have a confederation issue. I can't figure out why
my router is selecting the iBGP confederation peer as
apposed to my eBGP peer.

My router has to paths. I think, before the path
selection algorithm the router looks at admin
distance. Well the route that is being injected has a
distance of 200 and the route that is not has a
distance of 20. I brought down the link to the iBGP
confederation peer and the eBGP neighbor with a
distance of 20 came up.
