Kelly Clarkson’s Ron Paul-Related Sales Boost
It’s always risky to venture into the realm of politics, but Kelly Clarkson's recent endorsement of Ron Paul has paid off big for her.
The “Mr. Know It All” songstress’ latest album Stronger has surged 192% in sales since she tweeted her support of conservative Republican Presidential hopeful.
In the past 24 hours, Stronger has gone from the #41 spot to #14 on the Amazon Movers & Shakers in Music list.
Yesterday (December 29) Kelly tweeted, “I love Ron Paul. He’s got my vote,” which garnered mixed reviews from her followers. Some rejoiced at Clarkson’s statements, while others questioned whether or not Paul is racist or homophobic.
To that end, Kelly replied, “I am really sorry if I have offended anyone. Obviously that was not my intent. I do not support racism. I support gay rights, straight rights, women’s rights, men’s rights, white/black/purple/orange rights. I like Ron Paul because he believes in less government and letting the people (all of us) make the decisions and mold our country. That is all. Out of all the Republican nominees, he’s my favorite.”
