Tidbits 3/25

• Remember the New York Times article we told you about yesterday? It has finally shown up on their website:

  The Southern dynasty began in Season 1, when Kelly Clarkson, a waitress from Burleson, Tex., triumphed over Justin Guarini of Doylestown, Pa. It has continued every season since. An Alabama native, Ruben Studdard, won Season 2, defeating Clay Aiken of North Carolina. That state got revenge in Season 3 when Fantasia Barrino beat Diana DeGarmo of Snellville, Ga.
  

• Wichita Eagle - AI ... "Presuming Stacey's not the winner, he could still go on to release a hit record like last season's fourth-place finisher, Chris Daughtry, or season two runner-up Clay Aiken."

• Taking A Moment's Jemock tells us how she plans on staying organized for the 2007 Summer Tour. With a journal, of course! "I think that little pouch might come in handy for small items like tickets, receipts, Clay's room key oh wait that's just me, and so forth and so on."
• Carolina On My Mind - we like to stay away from politics here on CDD, but here's such a compelling and moving story that we just had to share it with you... plus, there are some gorgeous PAH's in the post. Carolina Clay talks about John Edwards and his cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth's brave and symbolic decision to stay in the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination race.
