Topic: Stephen Colbert: Exploring run for president of USA of South Carolina
Stephen Colbert, the comedian who hosts the late night show “The Colbert Report”, is now running in the primary in his own state of South Carolina. He apparently wants to run for the “President of the United States of South Carolina which is a very interesting title to have. On his show, he has the personality of a big time conservative news anchor. The way he could be a candidate for the primary and register so late is that he could be a write-in candidate. Colbert was the head of a super PAC called Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow and he transferred it to Jon Stewart. This way he would not be violating the law that did not allow candidates to manage political action committees. He formed that super PAC last year to make fun of how there are so many contradictions in the laws that allow corporations to give an unlimited amount of money. A poll showed that Colbert was ahead of Jon Huntsman, who has been last place, but came in third at the New Hampshire primary. He’s probably the only other alternative to Mitt Romney at this point, since everyone ends up voting for him just because he seems the most sane in this election. Colbert said “Clearly my fellow South Caroliniacs see me as the only Mitternative”, using his comedic talents to persuade voters to vote him instead of Romney. The South Carolina primary is only a week away, so America will see what happens with Colbert soon..
