Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

So Colbert's short-lived run for the Presidency has come to an end. According to the Palmetto Scoop, the South Carolina Democratic Party has denied Colbert's request to be on the ballot because he's not a "viable" candidate...whatever that means. Consequently, Colbert will not file with the Republican Party either.

The Palmetto Scoop, who had been promoting Colbert's candidacy, has a tirade against the SC Dems that's worth a read: 

Thankfully, the Democrats got this one right and only the truly viable candidates have made it to the presidential primary ballot.  Viable candidates like Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd and Mike Gravel.

So what if Kucinich speaks at length about his “UFO experience“?  Americans love science fiction.  He’s definitely viable.

What’s the big deal if Richardson chose not to call for the removal of disgraced former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez because he, like Richardson, is Hispanic?  The majority of America agrees that race should be the number one factor when determining leadership.  Viability test passed.

Who conveys “middle America” better than Biden, who uses an Indian accent when he goes into 7-11?  No one, that’s who.  Someone give that guy a big viability stamp.

Speaking of middle America, does anything say “mainstream” like Dodd’s “Golden Leash Award” for accepting nearly $1 million in special interest money in return for special favors? Absolutely not.  V-I-A-B-L-E.

Apparently the SC Dems, like the FEC, don't have a sense of humor.
