Democratic committee says Colbert cannot run - News
The Stephen T. Colbert presidential campaign was just grounded by the Democratic Party executive committee of South Carolina.
Chairwoman Carol Fowler said that Colbert was not allowed to run because the committee did not believe he was a "legitimate candidate."
Of his campaign promises, he vowed to "crush Georgia," because South Carolina peaches are more numerous and "juiciful." Many fans of the comedian support him because of his mockery of the democratic process and how candidates, of both political parties, cater their message to the audience they are speaking to.
His much-publicized run had grown support from many different groups, including the popular social networking site Facebook. The group "1,000,000 strong for Stephen T Colbert" has amassed over 1,400,000 members, more support than any other candidate has in their group.
Colbert's run at the White House coincided with the release of his book, "I Am America (And So Can You!)" throwing his run under the national spotlight more prominently, and allowing him to publicize both his campaign and book at the same time.
