Any of you regular Report watchers know this already but Comedy Central's Steven Colbert is running for president in the South Carolina Democratic Primary. (http://http://www.colbert08.org/) I would really love to be able to vote for him, but I'm a Texas resident. Any registered democrats in SC want to trade votes with me? I'll vote for your favorite candidate here if you'll vote for Colbert there?

LOVE Stephen Colbert... I know he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting anywhere with this, but it's nice to have that diversion.
EDIT TO ADD:
Unfortunately, the SC Democrats have taken Stephen Colbert out of the running:

Drag. They're just scared he'd win... afterall, his fans have nearly gotten a bridge named after him and DID get a sports team named after him, so anything IS possible.

Damn it! I guess now he'll have to run as an independent.

I'm absolutely obsessed with Stephen. If he were still in the running--and if I lived in SC--I'd probably vote for him.

There's a good discussion of this going on at The Daily Kos. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/11/1/163215/322)

I'm going to talk with Laet about HAF formally endorsing Colbert, and changing our logo to a bear eating a unicorn. Afterall, according to Colbert, bears are godless killing machines.
