#66: "I'm Clay Aiken, and I Approved This Message!"


merrieeee

Recommended Posts

Unofficial at this point. BUT...no more precincts to report, according to the site.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Way to go Clay!

Someone posted at CV earlier today that a certain album was released 6 years ago. I've always loved this particular song, and I think it fits Clay Aiken like a glove...lyrics especially.

I took my first step

On that black and white kitchen floor

I sometimes wonder if that house

Is even there, anymore

I had my first glimpse of love

When I was five

I watched two people split apart

But still the three of us survived

I've seen the best

I've seen the worst

I wouldn't change what I've been through

I've touched the sky

I've hit the wall

But I did what I had to

Ooooohhhh

CHORUS:

On my way here

Where I am now

I've learned to fly

I have to want to leave the ground

I've fallen hard

But I've been loved

And in the end it all works out

My faith has conquered fear

On my way here.

Oh yeah yeaaah

My address has changed

Almost every year

I've found that standing still

Can quickly make a lifetime disappear

I'd rather try and fail

A thousand times denied

And this, whenever you feel pain

It lets you know that you're alive

I've been a fool

I've been afraid

Yeah, I've been loved

I've been lied to

I've been wrong

And I've been right

I stood up when I had to

Yeah Yeahhhh

On my way here

Where I am now

I've learned to fly

I have to want to leave the ground

I've fallen hard

But I've been loved

And in the end it all works out

My faith has conquered fear

On my way here.

No guarantees

I believed that I would find

An open door or a light

To lead me to the other side

I guess that is why

On my way here

Where I am now

I've learned to fly

I have to want to leave the ground

I've fallen hard

But I've been loved

And in the end it all works out

My faith has conquered fear

On my way here.

He looked really good -- shirt sleeves rolled up, but still with the tie. He introduced everyone on his staff, and he says when he wakes up in the morning, he's confident they will be declared the winner. Onward to November 4!

It looked good when we left. Gene Conti said there was only one district left to count and it had less votes than Clay was ahead. Hopefully there wont be a runoff. Clay thanked all his team by name and went around the room shaking hands and hugging people. I saw him as a different man after the vote. Mature, confident, leader. Bye AI Clay. Hello man of the people.

I might have to change the thread title to this...love it!

Fear, I can't wait to hear more about your experience last night.

luckiest, from what I'm understanding, Crisco can ask for a recount. However, since Clay has received 40% of the vote, and Crisco didn't, if the votes don't swing Crisco's way, Clay's in. However -- I think I'm also reading that some provisional ballots have yet to be counted.

It's still really a nail biter!

Yeah -- that is a strong possibility. As Clay said in his speech last night, "I'd prefer to just open an envelope to find out."

Speaking of that....

I was able to watch most of this live, but it cut out at the end...during "Just Walk Away Renee!"
