Breaking News- Stephen Colbert formally announced tonight on "The Colbert Report" that he is a candidate for President in 2008!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(larkinmj @ Oct 16 2007, 10:48 PM) [snapback]526677[/snapback]</div> His book is # 2 or 3 on Amazon .The word he coined, "Truthiness" is defined in Dictionary.com with his attribution. I hope he keeps in character while running.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(larkinmj @ Oct 16 2007, 11:48 PM) [snapback]526677[/snapback]</div> It's a publicity stunt. According to the Associated Press and other sources: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE("AP")</div> Colbert Announces Presidential Pursuit If so, then he has no chance at becoming president, and he knows it. If he is only on the ballot in South Carolina, then he could not possibly get enough Electoral College votes to win the presidency, even if he wins South Carolina. You have to at least be on the ballots in most, if not all, of the states in order to have a shot at the presidency.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Marlin @ Oct 17 2007, 05:54 AM) [snapback]526785[/snapback]</div> That's only if he fails to put Karl Rove on his team. With Karl Rove in charge, I'm sure more than enough electoral "votes" would be rounded up to secure the office. Unfortunately, Colbert probably has too much respect for the US constitution, a bit of personal principle that has retarded many a political career. MB
That's true, of course. But come on, you have to admit that it would be cool to be watching the election results and see Colbert listed as the winner of SC. I wonder what color they would use.

As a write-in candidate from some misguided grass roots campaign, wouldn't it just be a riot if he took enough liberal votes away from the Democrat candidate which causes the Republican candidate to win the presidency. :lol: :lol: :lol:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Sufferin' Prius Envy @ Oct 17 2007, 10:26 PM) [snapback]527188[/snapback]</div> Duh, that's why Karl Rove is helping him run.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Sufferin' Prius Envy @ Oct 17 2007, 10:26 PM) [snapback]527188[/snapback]</div> What makes you think he'd be taking votes from the Democrats?
