Does anyone here know the name Kelly Clarkson?” asked Ron Paul this afternoon referring to the singer’s endorsement of his campaign.

“I have to admit that I didn’t know a whole lot about her,” Paul said, “But I do know that our supporters were so enthusiastic about it they went out and bumped up sales of her record by 600%.

The former American Idol winner caused a stir last week after she endorsed Ron Paul on Twitter.

Paul spoke during a Rock the Caucus event in Iowa attended by about 500 High School students.
