Is he running as a Republican? And if elected, can he stay in character for 4 or 8 years and continue to be funny? There's nothing worse than a president who used to be funny but now is just kind of sad. You know, like Jerry Seinfeld.
Turns out Colbert was on the NPR show "wait wait don't tell me". Sounds like he's running as both a Democrat and Republican. Since he's only running in South Carolina, I guess I'll have to settle for a write-in vote in Massachusetts. :(
I listened to that episode of "wait wait" too. Sadly, he said that "it begins and ends in South Carolina."
If you're still undecided in this race, here's a handy site that shows how candidates match up to your views. My bottom 2 were Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee, which is excellent. Unfortunately, Colbert's not included.
I agree with Vincent; I don't like any of the options for immigration on that test. Btw, they just had a poll of the students on our campus and apparently 87% are for Ron Paul. I was surprised there was such a huge leader in the opinions of the students at this point in time so early before the election...
I guess they only included positions that are held by at least one major candidate. Apparently everybody in the race is in favor of tighter border security, which isn't too surprising I suppose.
Is Ron Paul the Republican version of Howard Dean this time around? Can he do some real damage in the primaries?
Alas, another American dream crushed. Maybe those poll numbers Vicent cited were too scary. I'm sure guys like Richardson breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been embarrassing to finish way behind Colbert.

No real surprises in that site, although I didn't like any of the proposed answers to the immigration question.
Colbert was brilliant on Meet the Press today.

Here's an amazing poll result with Colbert included.
Well looks like it won't happen after all...
