I do not think the word "rock star' means what you think it means
From Under the Dome:
If Liddy is what passes for a rock star in the GOP, this election is already over.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole will be a no-show at her party's big bash in St. Paul, Minn.
. . .
Dole is in a tough battle for re-election against Democratic state Sen. Kay Hagan. Dole will be visiting with businesses, organizations and other constituent groups, but Hallaway said the schedule is not final.
She also is one of the bona fide rock stars of the GOP, the type of speaker who could rally the faithful. Dole had a prime time TV speaking role at the last GOP convention in New York City, where she praised President Bush and talked in support of traditional marriage, freedom of religion and the sanctity of life.
If Liddy is what passes for a rock star in the GOP, this election is already over.

I think they're trying for an SAT-style analogy:
Elizabeth Dole (R-KS) is to rock star as:
• George W. Bush is to greatest president ever
• Rick Allen is to two-armed drummer
• Texas is to authentic pork barbecue and well-reasoned political stances
• Richard Burr is to straight-forward, honest answer provider

Yeah, she totally "rocked" the Chairmanship of the miserably failed 2006 Republican Reelection Committee. Dole managed a loss of 6 US Senate Republican incumbents and the majority in the US Senate.
Rock on, Senator Dole!

Yes, she really is a Rock Star at listening to her constituents, such as when I contacted her with a very polite request to hear out her constituents regarding an amendment against gay marriage, and I promptly received a response saying that she thanked me for sharing, but that she would be voting along the lines of her "morality" because her faith, not her constituency's beliefs, guides her to build a "better NC".

Uh, she's female? (I do have that right, don't I?)
