Kelly Clarkson Endorses Ron Paul: The Five Most Baffling Political Pairings
When it comes to presidential endorsements, musicians tend to be pretty predictable. Most all of them seem to go for Democrats, except for Ted Nugent.

Sure, they both come from Texas, but WTF? "I love Ron Paul," Clarkson tweeted Wednesday. "I liked him a lot during the last Republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he's got my vote. Too bad he probably won't." Sure, it's not exactly a ringing endorsement. But still, it's Ron freaking Paul, the guy who only libertarian tech support guys and dubstep DJs seem to go for.
