Stephen Colbert Drops Presidential Bid

[gilliam]

NEW YORK (AP) - Stephen Colbert has dropped his bid for the White House.

His announcement came after the South Carolina Democratic Executive Council voted last week to keep the host of “The Colbert Report” off the state’s primary ballot. The vote was 13-3.
Colbert poses as a conservative talk-show host on the Comedy Central show. “Although I lost by the slimmest margin in presidential election history—only 10 votes—I have chosen not to put the country through another agonizing Supreme Court battle,” Colbert said Monday in a statement. “It is time for this nation to heal.”

We are Colbertacrats and this has been hard on us in our home. But we understand it was for the greater good of the Nation.



I guess we can always write him in on the general, depending on who the final nominees are

It could have become a tough issue if Colbert was going to keep his show, because of equal time laws.

Not if he’d gotten on both primary ballots like he intended.
