Colbert Bid in South Carolina Rejected
"Stephen Colbert’s satirical run for the presidency has run into its first roadblock -- his bid to be on the ballot in the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary was rejected on Thursday," The Politico reports.
"The Democrats had to decide whether they considered Colbert to be a bona fide Democrat who is nationally viable and has spent time campaigning in the state."
"Colbert could still run as an independent in the general election, though he’d have to collect 10,000 signatures to get on the ballot."
