Colbert Bows Out


It's over. The campaign everyone in the MSM wanted to cover ("all fun, no deep thinking") has come to an end. The South Carolina Democratic Executive Council voted 13-3 last week to deny Colbert a place on the primary ballot.

"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 in his statement withdrawing from the race. Colbert was attempting a run only in the Democratic primary because the cost to enter the Rethug primary ($35,000) was a bit too rich for the blood, except for the likes of millionaire Rethugs like Flip Flop Mitt.
