The knives are out! http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/05/02/3829507/aiken-crisco-created-jobs-in-central.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter I liked the debate. I thought Clay did well for a rookie! Morris reminded me of a kid who gleefully tries to fit in with her elders but doesn't quite know what there talking about. As for Crisco.......yawn!

@bradley_scout: Clay Aiken (former American Idol contestant) is running for Congress in NC, Wash. Post reports. What do you think? http://t.co/Yc6QEGkoIK An Ellmers spokesperson responded, "While Clay Aiken is running around on the Colbert Show, the Congresswoman is doing the work of the people in the Second District."

Yes!

I watched it at least.........a lot........of times!! His smirk came out quite a few times. The old snarky Clay is in there still!

Tyra tweeted Rubens ad @tyrabanks: Proud of my friend @ClayAiken. We need more people like him in Congress. http://t.co/BgXOAaEagA #ncpol #nc02

There's an article out there about Clay coming in second again. The roller coaster goes up and the roller coaster comes down.

News observer.com RENEE ELLMERS COMES TO CLAY AIKEN'S DEFENSE – WHAT?!: U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers is trying to milk campaign cash from her supports with one of the strangest fundraising emails. This week, the Dunn Republican writes: "Bev Perdue's friend Keith Crisco is running an ad on television right now that personally attacks Clay Aiken for not being supportive enough of children with disabilities." Now, clearly I disagree with Clay Aiken on practically every issue, his support of President Obama and Nancy Pelosi at the top of the list of course. But can you believe Crisco would stoop this low in an attack ad? Believe it. "So if a Democrat is willing to fight this dirty against one of his own imagine what the liberal machine will try to do to our conservative cause?" Ellmers goes on to ask for money and while the logic (though twisted) is apparent, coming to Aiken's defense by calling the ad "a new low" is amusing. Among her many recent hits on the Democrat, it was Ellmers' campaign that drew controversy for saying Aiken had "San Francisco" values, a shot that many perceived as one on Aiken's sexual orientation.

Aww @ClayForNC: Listen to @RubenStuddard talk about Clay's commitment to public service in our latest radio ad: http://t.co/dfsgKH7mWC #ncpol #nc02 Thanks for the info. I did not like the Ronan show either! I think the kid is too full of himself. From what I've gathered Ronan has swallowed his own Koolaid.

I have watched the Colbert clip so many times I lost count. I never watch the show so I have nothing to judge it by but I think it went very well! How do you guys feel?

It all went by so fast last night that I had to go back and read the transcript. He really did get some zingers in. The guy is so fast on his feet! How many people could do what he has done in the last couple of days. He went from fundraiser to serious political shows to comedy in 24 hours? And managed to acquit himself in all of them! Random tweets. @emhornerbooks: Actually pretty impressed with @clayaiken on the Colbert Report. North Carolina needs more politicians who are not terrible terrible ppl. @Trillburne: lmao I have to admit Clay Aiken is not near as awful as a politician as I thought he would be @timtheok: I was skeptical, but after @clayaiken was on @StephenAtHome tonight I would vote for him. @duobham: I was impressed w/ Clay Aiken on Colbert Report tonight. He was quick to get to real issues plaguing US/his district. http://t.co/m342p1aG2N

Ha he trended onTwitter last night! I wonder if Crisco ever trended?

Twitter was fun tonight! Very few negative tweets and couple surprised at how intelligent he is. Way to go Clay!

He was good. Got lots of bullet points in. No mention of Crisco. Colbert said vote for him.......if you must!

I believe it is!

Omg does this mean what I think it means? @dancermom2: mdeiningerbell The Colbert Report Awesome night at Colbert courtesy of @tuckermiddleton and @clayfornc

It being processed right now so we can all watch it later.

@emily_cohn: lol RT @HuffPostPol: Coming up at 4:20 p.m. EDT: Clay Aiken joins us on @HuffPostLive http://t.co/fCeqJQYL2w

I thought he did very well. He refuted Crisco's ad and said the the guy was self funding. He stayed above the fray and did not attack just told the truth.

@chrisgeidner: Today's Ronan Farrow-Clay Aiken political interview is a moment to be remembered forever. http://t.co/feoSBqsP3h @GrabienMedia: VIDEO - Ronan Farrow to Clay Aiken: Are You Downplaying Your Love of Obama on the Trail? https://t.co/a1ls7tvEuu @tahoe24lake: .@ClayForNC #nc02 #ncpol RT @dancermom2 @clayaiken: Primary opponent trying to buy a seat http://t.co/gxomvoKhr0 via @msnbc on @RonanDaily

Nice to see he hasn't lost his sense of humour!
