Dem running for Giffords seat refuses to say he'll vote for Obama

Ron Barber, the Democratic candidate to replace Rep. Gabby Giffords  (D., Ariz.), refused to say who he will vote for in the presidential election during a Wednesday debate with Republican candidate Jesse Kelly.

KELLY: Who are you supporting for president in November?

BARBER: My vote is my vote, and yours is too. I will not be talking about other elections. I'm focused on beating you on June 12.

A new poll released Wednesday by left-leaning firm Public Policy Polling (PPP) showed Mitt Romney leading President Obama in Arizona by seven points. Romney carried 50 percent in the poll, while Obama held 43 percent. In February, the two were tied at 47 in a PPP poll.
