Stephen Colbert’s Presidential Bid Blocked - PIC

Stephen Colbert’s presidential hopes have come to an end. Although he paid the $2,500 fee to put his name on the Democratic primary ballot, the party executives have voted not to include him in the race.

When he announced his candidacy, he said he would only run in his native South Carolina. Sunday he appeared at the University of South Carolina and vowed to “crush the state of Georgia” if elected.

That’s too bad - Colbert really could have brought some humor to the race but shed some light on the issues also. Guess I’ll just have to keep watching his show instead.
