New Poll Suggests Stephen Colbert Should Be Frontrunner Within a Month!

NEW YORK Less than a week ago, shortly after he announced for president, Stephen Colbert was favored by only a little more than 2% of Democrats as the favorite for the nomination. Now, a Rasmussen Report national telephone survey has found that he gains 13% of voters in a matchup with Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Hillary Clinton.

With former Sen. Fred Thompson substituted for Giuliani, the host of Comedy Central's Colbert Report still got 12%.

If he keeps gaining over 10% a week, Colbert should be leading the field before November is out.

Colbert announced last week that he would run in the primary for both parties in his native South Carolina. An appearance on "Meet the Press" followed, naturally.

In an unofficial kickoff for the race, the mayor of Columbia, S.C., will greet Colbert during a visit this Sunday -- and declare it "Stephen Colbert Day."

Meanwhile, a Facebook group titled “1,000,000 Strong For Stephen T. Colbert” has attracted more than 880,000 members in just over a week -- making it the most popular political group on Facebook by far.

1. Then it would seem to me that he should be expected to participate in the debates

At a certain point it's time to get serious and defend your ideas before the voters in a debate.

3. He said he wanted to be hold one vote from SC and be able to speak at the Convention?

If he could only come out of his reverse right wing character and tell it like it is so those who are not clued in will understand what he's saying.

I have a feeling his timing will be perfectly orchestrated.

If only he gets the youth talking, arguing, and voting.

Maybe the right will run Dennis Miller.

I liked his Brownback haircomb style and delivery on MTP.

What's his demographic? Males, 18-30? nt
