ASK THE OTHER WAY:
Why would two democratic governors say he never said any such thing?
Perhaps they were not seeking to speak ill of the dead by confirming it, but too honest to lie and say he never said it when he did. more »

The important thing is that no governors have denied he made the statement, even well after he passed away.
1 -- I'm pretty sure they've narrowed down the "two governors" to a few options, due to the need to be alone with two dem governors, during the general time when this was being pushed.
2 -- Those possible governors both passed away never having DENIED he said it in their presence, either. Given that one would think this the best thing to do if it were true -- while confirming it would be "speaking ill of the dead" -- it is particularly odd that they did not deny it, if he didn't say it. The implication is clear: He said it, no question or doubt. more »
