The GOP's Conference Needs An Idol?

A newspaper in New Jersey mentioned Clay in an article about this week's GOP's meeting in Memphis. This is a bit confusing to us, but it probably refers to the the lack of interest in voting at the conference because Clay came from a show (Idol) where voting was VERY popular. In addition, Gov. Romney is a Democrat, so we can conclude that this is all a "poke-fun at the GOP" article with a harmless Clay mention.

We can safely assume that Clay was not at the conference.

The article said:

This weekend, 1,800 activists from 37 states are meeting in Memphis, and many of the 2008 presidential hopefuls- including Sen. John McCain and Sen. Bill Frist. Gov. Mitt Romney and Clay Aiken are there to pitch their cases to the skeptics.
