ldyjocelyn Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I was just looking at our designations. I am a "babysitter" right now. Maybe we should add another one -- Campaign Manager!I usually raed the first few comments, just to get a feel to what is being said. Then, I ignore. Noticed that the YouTube has comments disabled thoguh...heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merrieeee Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hee hee!@LiamGareau: Clay Aiken's congress run is a hot bid, but I'm holding judgement until I hear Keith Crisco and Toni Morris sing Bridge Over Troubled Water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From CVBrooke Baldwin @BrookeBCNN 5mJUST landed an interview with @ClayAiken! Haven't you heard? He's running for Congress... as of today. Tune in: 2:30pmET ON #CNN.DetailsHe's also supposed to be on MSNBC tomorrow as well. Sigh. I dropped cable a few months ago. Must rely on clack!A few thoughts after watching the video again:1) "Learning to Sing" will now be his official biography (even though it's really only a memoir). The first part of the video is almost word-for-word from the first few chapters in the book. Those who are interested in his political platform could easily pick up the book and get a good feel for what he's going to be about!2) I really liked his focus on the military, very smart move and one I support too. I didn't put two and two together on this one -- but Brett had to have played into some of that as well.I'm so incredibly proud of him. Just call him Jimmy Stewart!luckiest, sadly I'm reading that it might be a problem for Canadians trying to get to the FB page! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearofH2O Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Clay is on CNN's home page CNN.com with a link to the article. No plans to go anywhere today so I'll watch a little TV. Wish I had a way to capture but only have DVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbmifan Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Woke up to the announcement in my e-mails. I am excited for him but still a little sad that I will not hear that voice again.

jmh123 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 WaPoWhy Clay Aiken is a long shot, in 3 statsBy Aaron Blake February 5 at 11:14 amFormer "American Idol" star Clay Aiken (D) is officially running for Congress.But if you think the "Idol" runner-up has a good shot at beating Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-N.C.) and becoming the most talked-about freshman of the 114th Congress, consider these three stats:1) Only three House Democrats represent districts that are redder than the one Aiken is seeking (it went just less than 58 percent for Mitt Romney).2) Of those three Democrats -- two (Reps. Jim Matheson (D-Utah) and Mike McIntyre (D-N.C.) ) -- are retiring in 2014 after getting huge scares in 2012. The third, Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.), has been in Congress since the mid-1970s but still finds himself in a toss-up race, despite that seniority.3) 88 House Republicans represent districts that are bluer than Ellmers's.True, but a good place to start. No one could fault him if he doesn't win (not that some won't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
