Colbert?

Topic: Colbert running for president?

       Steven Colbert is running for president in South Carolina and currently he has more support than poor Jon Huntsman. Interesting, right? Well, his reason for "running?" He is trying to expose the ridiculousness of Super PACs, organizations, that, as long as they are not directly affiliated with a candidate, can pour as much money into that candidate as they want. In fact, Colbert signed over his super PAC to Jon Stewart the other day, so now it's no longer linked to future-president Colbert!
      But wait...write ins are not allowed in South Carolina, which, by the way, is Colbert's place of birth. So how is Colbert going run for president? Let's leave that up to him, I suppose. But seriously, if Steven Colbert can receive more support than some of the actual Republican candidates, we have a problem. Can't we just make Obama win right now and stop squandering away much-needed money-money that could help those who are unemployed in America.
