DAVIS: You know there are all kinds of negatives you can bring up about your opponent that nobody cares about, it doesn't matter, whatever. But have these nine months of President Obama given you maybe a little bit of some smelling salts here, that it kind of does matter who you hang out with? That by osmosis, some of this stuff travels from person to person, and if you're spending your time around the likes of Jeremiah Wright, and Bill Ayers, and look at some of these nominees, Van Jones, and Kevin Jennings, and, and some of these bizzaroids, and creepoids, and people from what deep annal of what kind of thought have some of these folks come from, that you're properly judged by that?

Imagine a Republican president, you know, surrounding himself with folks with these kinds of unsavory past connections, you know maybe some Klansmen over here, some, some Nazi over there, it wouldn't fly for a New York minute.
