Looks like a LOT of other people agree with you because after the initial "bump" in her sales by the Ron Paul fanatics, her album sales were down...
However, according to Billboard, the album only sold 600 copies through online stores like Amazon and the sales figures were actually down 72 percent from the previous week.
Those are all based on physical album sales (CDs), you know those plastic things nobody actually buys anymore? If you look at her digital music sales they were up 200%+ after endorsing Ron Paul.

From the Billboard article...
Many of the stories generated regarding "Stronger's" sales jump were focused on its physical CD sales via Amazon.com and how it zipped up the Internet retailer's "movers and shakers" ranking after her Paul comments. Some journalists may have thought this meant the album was flying off Amazon.com's shelves. In actuality, "Stronger" sold 600 copies last week via Internet retailers (including Amazon.com) -- down 72% compared to the previous week, when it moved 2,000 copies.
Speaking of "Mr. Know It All," the song sold 123,000 downloads last week -- its best sales frame yet. However, that number should be examined a bit more closely. While its sizable 55% sales increase is impressive (and the second-largest gain among the top 50 titles on the Digital Songs chart) it was only natural the song was going to sell well last week and see a big sales spike.
Why? All digital songs generally sell well in the week after Christmas as consumer fill-up their newly-acquired MP3 players -- proven by how on the entire 75-position Digital Songs chart, only three titles decline in sales

So basically the article you posted shows that her digital music did indeed surge to "it's best sales frame yet "but you're going to claim it didn't actually happen or it didn't mean anything? Gotcha.
Or maybe it's that Toyota commercial she's in. Publicity usually leads to increased sales.
