One day after failing to commit his November vote to President Obama's reelection, Democratic congressional nominee Ron Barber released a statement insisting he's an Obama supporter. "Ron's point last night was that the election on June 12 isn't about president Obama, or any other national figure—it's about who is going to do the best job fighting for middle-class families in southern Arizona," his campaign manager clarified. "While Ron does not agree with the president on everything, of course Ron has supported and will support President Obama in the election. His primary focus as a member of Congress will be standing up for Southern Arizonans."
