John Kerry was saying that some foreign leaders were pulling for him. One of those leaders could very well be Tony Blair.
Here's an article at BBC News.
According to the article, Blair is definitely keeping his distance from Kerry, not even calling him to congratulate him. He wants to have no part of getting anywhere near John Kerry!
BBC: So what is going on? Mr Blair's critics say it shows he's so close to President Bush that he no longer even dares to be courteous to George W's political opponents. Mr Blair's supporters are just puzzled, bemused that their man is prepared potentially to risk alienating someone who is just one election away from the White House.
We all know that he's been so close to Bush. So much that it's not unjustified to suggest that they're "thick as thieves." With just as much to lose if they get caught! Blair has been called Bush's poodle. And it's not too hard to imagine Bush holding certain things against Blair that would him keep his distance from Kerry. Put yourself in Blair's place; he'd probably love to see Bush go down.
Of course Blair would be able to work with Kerry, and probably quite well, better than he has with Bush. It's easy to imagine him going from poodle to partner. Kerry has intelligence and a sense of progressive values for the world. But Bush wants to be Godzilla.
BBC: But in practice, none of this need prejudice any relationship between a President Kerry and a Prime Minister Blair. Both would need to deal with each other. On the war at least, Mr Blair's views appear closer to Mr Kerry's than some might think - both want the US to play a more multinational role in the world; both think it should get closer to its allies.
And there are spin-offs for Mr Blair. A Kerry presidency would improve his relations with his European partners. It would also calm the fevered brows of Labour MPs uncomfortable with Mr Blair's proximity to Mr Bush.
See that! Advantages all around! There is from this vantage point absolutely no reason Tony Blair should support the election of George Bush. And every reason for him to be for Kerry, secretly or otherwise.
