American Idol Clay Aiken Running For Congress – This dude has the right message (VIDEO)



Clay Aiken appeared on the The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd. He is running for Congress as a Democrat. He is vying to replace Congresswoman Renne Ellmers (R-NC). North Carolina’s 2nd district is fairly Republican. He is for real folks.

This is an R+15 "Solid Republican" district. Celebrity isn't going to turn out that many more Democratic voters...because they aren't there.

feeling the pain and either staying home are throwing the bums out. We'll see but I think this time around the punditry is wrong. With the media trying to prop up the Right, I think they smell something in the numbers. I have not scientific data, just a hunch.

Price isn't going anywhere and all the rest of the districts in my part of the state (and his) are very GOP.
