merrieeee Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 This guy is a sportscaster: He also is thrilled Clay retweeted him! “Did…. Did @clayaiken actually re-tweet me? This is beyond cool!” Link to comment
FearofH2O Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hi. Thanks for all the articles. My husband saw the video and an announcement on MSNBC today. Very exciting. Clay isn't in my district although I no longer know my district. The new redistricting maps split our county into parts of four districts from one. I'm not going to get upset as it is being challenged and I'll wait to see what the changes are. Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted January 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 I subscribe to the New York Times digital edition, and one of their newsletters is a daily roundup of news. Clay’s announcement made the summary, with a link to their article. Link to comment

Missed having new podcast each week.....anyone have info on whether there may be new episode this week??? My guess is no. I think this will be keeping him busy for the next few months. However, if this campaign is anything like the last one -- we'll have plenty of news and pictures (from Twitter) to keep us occupied. I also noticed that Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi (#iGen Politics podcast, also from Politicon) retweeted Clay's announcement yesterday. Jill Wine-Banks, in particular, is great -- she was a Watergate prosecutor, and an MSNBC commentator. Love that Jane Lynch tweeted it out too! Link to comment

I’m home this week, so I’ll get to see it live.. made my day!

ldyjocelyn Posted January 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Woohoo!!! It's my first day working from home in just over a week tomorrow -- which means I can watch it! YAY! I got another email from Clay today. He loves me...or he loves my money, not sure which... Link to comment

Mik4clay Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Ha, They needed to link his Broadway tune with Dee w that article. under that article it states that Snider won’t let politicians use his “We’re not going to take it” song for their campaigns.. but I bet he would for Clay! Appropriate too Link to comment

ldyjocelyn Posted January 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Good political analysis from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper. Outlines his chances fairly well. https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-nation/2022/01/10/clay-aiken-congress-north-carolina-american-idol-star-announced-running-us-house/stories/202201100147 Also, Breitbart provided a story. I'm not going there, and that's all I'm going to say about that. Link to comment
