Stephen Colbert denied South Carolina primary run WASHINGTON (Reuters) - It may be the shortest U.S. 2008 presidential campaign yet -- comedian Stephen Colbert's requests to be on the South Carolina Democratic and Republican primary ballots were rejected on Thursday. Colbert, who has admitted he does not want to be president but just wanted to run for it in his native state of South Carolina, had filed for the Democratic ticket earlier on Thursday and paid the $2,500 filing fee. Hours later, the party's executive council voted 13-3 Rating: 5

I would hope nobody actually, seriously, expected him to get on the ballot, much less be elected president. Nobody's going to vote a president in based on a satire-persona; how would you even know his plans for the country when everything he says is an attempt to sound rediculous and outrageous?

I'm sure he'd drop the persona on his campaign.
