On Stephen Colbert’s Presidential Bid

Comedian Stephen Colbert had announced his intention to run President.

Not so fast, says the South Carolina Democratic Party. They’ve decided that Colbert isn’t a serious candidate, and have rejected his application to get on the ballot.

I have no opinion on this, really.

The Atlantic Monthly had a good article on what his campaign strategy should have been. Frankly, it’s a pretty good strategy memo. Too bad there’s no chance now for it to go into motion.
