Arizona special election candidate Ron Barber, who talked around a debate question about who he's supporting in the presidential race, released a statement clarifying that he's an Obama guy. Here's the statement from spokeswoman Jessica Schultz:

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. 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.

Did he release a statement through a spokesdroid because he couldn’t make a convincing enough hostage video?

Last time around Jesse Kelly nearly beat Gabby Giffords, who was a very slick politician. Barber isn’t in her class. Kelly should win handily this time. I voted for Frank Antenori in the primary, but we could do a lot worse than Kelly. He’s okay.

Is he gay?

Thanks RobinMasters.

...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.
