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.
