Davis' downplays suggested Obama terrorism link

The chief of staff for Democratic Rep. Lincoln Davis (Tenn.) on Friday elaborated slightly on his apparent suggestion that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) could have ties to terrorism, saying nobody “in their right mind” would think that Obama does.

No one in their right mind, including me, believes Sen. Obama has ties to terrorism,” Davis chief of staff Beecher Frasier said in a statement. “It is truly ridiculous for anyone to try to make hay out of these comments."

Frasier’s initial comments came in response to comments by a state Democratic Executive Committee member, who suggested Davis hadn’t endorsed Obama because it “sounds kind of like he may be” connected to terrorists. Those comments were reported by the Nashville City Paper.

The paper reported that Frasier said he assumed Obama wasn’t connected to terrorists but that he didn’t know for sure. Davis’s campaign offered no commentary on the report in its statement.

4. I'm confused. Did Davis make these comments, or his chief of staff?
From the article, it sounds like his CoS Frasier made the comments. Sorry, I came to this one late, so I don't know what's going on.

5. I am distancing myself from my remarks and, because I simply cannot, in good conscience, support...
...anyone who would say what I said, I will no longer accept my salary or work for my own re-election. Furthermore, I am evicting myself from my home and repossessing my car. That is all. Thank you.
