Statement by Clay:
“I am stunned and deeply saddened by Keith Crisco’s death,” Aiken said on Monday. “He was a gentleman, a good and honorable man and an extraordinary public servant. I was honored to know him.”
Aiken added, “I am suspending all campaign activities as we pray for his family and friends.”

Crisco’s death was due to a fall.
not transfats.
(I’m sorry. Yes, I am classless enough to make a tacky joke right after someone has died. But I will keep him and his family in prayer.)

Too much fat in the can.

Apparent cause of death was embarrassment at being beaten by a hump like Clay Aiken.
I say Watson, I do believe there may be phaggotry aphoot here!
Down by 369 votes and he was conceding?
Keith Crisco died from a fall, huh? That`s so sad. What happened, did he slipp on some grease?
I wish he was a Republican. I love how successful the American Idols are. So many are doing very good things.
Where was Hillary?
What does she know about this and when did she know it?
Never use Crisco as a lubricant for sex. It’s shortening, BATTABOOM
Clay Aiken can be called the “Accidental candidate”
In response to the mean spirited jokes and negative commentary about Keith Crisco from people who don’t know him I’d like to respond. I knew Keith for many years in the business world and as NC Secretary of Commerce. He was a decent and amiable man. I found him to always be above board and honest in his business dealings. He was a straight shooter and extremely devoted to his family. He also kept a family textile company afloat during the downsizing and outsourcing of much of the industry, preserving good middle class jobs in his community. His genuine caring for his employees and community was admirable in an era when cold hearted executives of multinational corporations eliminate tens of thousands of jobs and destroy entire communities without a second though. Perhaps Mitt Romney could learn a few things from Mr. Crisco.
His politics were traditional pragmatic blue dog Democrat, not the leftist Marxism that has taken over the party. In talking to him before the election I truly believe he wanted to be a voice of moderation in his party and work to bridge between his party and the Republican party. While our politics differed, I had great respect for his motivations and integrity.
Our nation is polarized today and politics are filled with hate and venom. When conservatives denigrate a decent man they don’t know on this forum it only contributes to the anger and hate that tears our nation apart.
