A new poll in South Carolina by PPP shows that Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert leads all other potential candidates to replace tea bagger hero Sen. Jim "Demented" DeMint (R-Klanland), who's retiring in January. Colbert has the support of 20% of South Carolina voters, while tea bagger favorite Rep. Tim "Not Great" Scott gets 15%. Jenny Sanford, former SC first lady and ex-wife of Rethug Gov. Mark "'Hiking' in Argentina" Sanford, draws a respectable 11%.
So we suggest a new campaign slogan: "Colbert for South Carolina -- We're used to electing funny people!"
