Thanks to Facebook’s new “trending” feature I noticed that Clay Aiken announced he is running for Congress in North Carolina. At first, I’ll admit, I laughed and thought “what? Seriously?” But then I watched the video and maybe it’s the music, maybe it’s his acting chops, but it actually started to convince me that maybe he is a decent candidate. While he was on Celebrity Apprentice he impressed me more than I thought he would. I have never been a fan, a “Claymate” if you will, but he does have his merits. Watch the video and judge for yourself. Warning, brevity is not his strong suit… it’s nearly 5 minutes long, but I watched it all anyway.
