Ron Paul gives Kelly Clarkson a shoutout in Iowa

The Kelly Clarkson and Ron Paul lovefest continues! Last Tuesday, Ron Paul cited American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson during a campaign stop in Iowa. He said that his supporters bumped up the sales of Kelly's album by 600%. Yes, the power of Ron Paul fans! This is exactly the kind of group Kelly needs to associate herself with -- people who buy albums and don't pirate. I hope he invites Kelly to a stop in New Hampshire or even South Carolina where the stakes are high.

Your move Kelly! Seize the moment!

From LA Times:

“Does anyone know the name Kelly Clarkson?” asked Ron Paul, the libertarian Texas congressman whose appeal will be tested Tuesday night as Iowans become the first to make their preferences known in the 2012 presidential contest.

The gymnasium of Valley High School, filled with several hundred students just back from Christmas break, erupted in cheers. Paul didn’t know who Clarkson was until she threw her support behind him recently. She was the first winner of “American Idol,” in 2002.

After Clarkson came out for Paul, he told the students, “Our supporters went out and bumped up her sales by 600%.”
