you guys asked for it, and it was bound to happen sooner or later. all colbert has to do is duck through a couple of bureaucratic hurdles and he's golden. he's actually leading jon huntsman in a recent poll as well.. and the Grand Ol' (circus) Party gets more interesting.... |

me as well. colbert superpac ftw. i have a feeling it's gonna get squashed before it starts, however- being that they don't accept write-ins without a lot of bureaucratic finesse on colbert's part. |

Haha, I'm watching yesterday's episode as I type. Hilarious!
These things happen in a democracy, Nachos, there's nothing stupid about it. I would be worried if the Republican Party really believed corporations really are people and let a corporation run for office. Unless that happens, it's quite refreshing that new challengers can appear during the race. |

Well, they don't have to "believe" it, it is true according to the supreme court's ruling. If you don't think this is stupid you've lost 7 respect points in my ranking |

Is people entering at random stupid? No.
Is corporations running for office? Yes.
I omitted a word to make all lines same.
Length? Yes, twice actually. Stupid the. |

The laws related to citizens united and super pacs are in fact not an example of democracy. |

Well if you would read the article, you would know he is not entering the race as the state does not allow write in candidates. He may still campaign I guess.
I liked a comment from one of Colbert's recent guests: 'I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one!' |
