Raleigh N&O Clay Mention

Clay appeared in a short article about politics in today's Raleigh News & Observer.

Idol fodder for politicians

Is nothing sacred? Now even Raleigh pop singer Clay Aiken is ammunition in the political war.

At the biannual NCGOP Hall of Fame dinner Saturday night, the state Republican Party plans to auction two tickets for an upcoming Aiken concert at the RBC Center.

North Carolina Democrats sent out a missive noting that Republicans were raising money from a singer who is registered as a Democrat.

The $125 per person dinner will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Cary.
