It's another key runoff in the Democratic presidential primary tonight, but in Murray a lot of people are campaigning for an American Idol contestant.
The attention keeps growing for 17-year-old David Archuleta. He's described as a good kid with an awesome voice.
At Murray High School, Principal Scott Bushnell says even faculty and staff are getting involved. "I haven't done a survey to see who is and who isn't watching, but my guess is people are paying a little closer attention now," he said.
Archuleta is among a remaining dozen contestants. The school's marquis urges people to vote for David, and Bushnell says soon you'll see a similarly themed banner on the bridge over State Street.
