Instapundit doesn’t believe the Boston Globe reporter, who, according to Drudge, now says that Kerry claimed that “more leaders,” not “foreign leaders,” supported him. Whatever. In context, the “more leaders” clearly referred to foreign leaders:
KERRY: “I’ve been hearing it, I’ll tell ya. The news, the coverage in other countries, the news in other places. I’ve met more leaders who can’t go out and say it all publicly, but boy they look at you and say, you gotta win this, you gotta beat this guy, we need a new policy, things like that. So there is enormous energy out there. Tell them, whereever they can find an American abroad, they can contribute,” a reference to donations, prompting laughter from the crowd.Even if the Globe reporter’s correction is on the money, it’s no wonder Kerry never denied the foreign leaders quote–it’s exactly what he meant.
