I think I mentioned in a previous post how Stephen Colbert is going to try to run for President in South Carolina. Well today he announced that he couldn't get on the ballot because the deadline for filing was 2.5 months ago. Also in South Carolina, the ballots are closed meaning that a)once you are on the ballot, you can't get off of it and b)they do not allow write-ins. It looked like Stephen Colbert was in a pickle!
Enter in Herman Cain. Cain filed to be on the South Carolina ballot months ago but has now dropped out of the race. This means that he is still listed on the ballot. So Stephen Colbert has declared that a vote for Herman Cain is a vote for Colbert and this is how he will gauge interest in his running for President. I hope that Herman Cain gets a huge percentage of votes in South Carolina now :)
What I learned: While Colbert can't officially be on the ballot in South Carolina, he is more or less using Herman Cain to get voters to vote for him anyway. I wonder how many people will vote for Herman Cain, thinking they are actually voting for Herman Cain. Teehee.
