I'm pretty sure I remember the word "several" coming in to play

That's what Vitter said the day after the primary, right?

Vitter has participated in limited debates, citing his duties as a U.S. senator, and had limited media access. On Saturday, after the election results came in, Edwards spent nearly an hour talking to reporters while Vitter left without interviews.

Vitter said Sunday that he hopes to participate in several debates during the runoff campaign.

“I look forward to those,” he said.

Okay so "several" is apparently not a direct quote. But they do have him say "those" in quotes.  This is just one.  Can't he count?
