On Tuesday, September 23rd, Ruben Studdard and Fantasia were special guests at an exciting reception/fundraiser for their friend, Clay Aiken.  Clay, who is running for Congress in the 2nd district in North Carolina, seemed excited to join his friends and American Idol Alumni at the  Elder Art Gallery  in Charlotte, North Carolina.

There were many pictures of the event posted on Facebook and Twitter.  And, from the messages that were posted, it sounds like everyone had an exciting time.

On Tuesday, I posted a mid-day blog about the Clay/Renee Debate.  It certainly hit the news throughout the U.S.  If you didn’t have a chance to read it, it is titled “The Debate Is On” and you can see it on page 2.  I would imagine that there might be many up-coming days that I post more than once.  I hope you will check in during the day!!
