The other candidates are not even trying to represent the peoples views on immigration and the war, at least Colbert would give us some laughs.

hes running in the SC preliminaries, but if he wins, hes on the '08 ballot. I would vote for him because he realizes all of the bullsh*t that we are fed from the gov't right now. And i think he has already made some mentions on how to fix things ( rather drastic and comedic, but you can tone them down to reasonable ideas). Secondly even if he wont be able turn anything around, do you think the other candidates are really going to do that much better, or even try? If you take a look at the current administration a few key names did some very selfless and profit gaining things for themselves, and made a cover-up to hide it. Those cover ups have done nothing but created a snowball effect over the last 8 years. I think Colbert is running on two principles. First that it is just a popularity game and not to do with actual promises of policy, and second that the position and running for the position of the presidency has become a big joke.
** Note: for those who cant tell his humor is very democratic, he makes fun of republicans. His entire show is satirical in nature, which makes it funny ( least to me). He will either go independent or democrat, but most likely will be independent to uphold the facade and presence that he displays durring his show**

What do you mean, "would you"? I live in South Carolina, and I PLAN to vote for Stephen Colbert for President, now that he has announced his candidacy for this state. He's clearly the best choice out there!

Yes. In a heartbeat. How can you not tell this guy is a liberal and that his show pokes fun at the republicans? He has the intelligence to handle the situations presented to the United States now and the ability to convey his ideas to us as well as the nations of the world.

As much as I'd like to see Stephen Colbert (and Jon Stewart) in the White House, the concern I have with splitting the votes is that we might end up with another (shudder) Republican President. BTW, Lily girl's missing the point. Colbert isn't conservative. He parodies conservative views. That's the joke.

No. I happen to love Stephen Colbert. I think he is hilarious, and extremely intelligent but he is just a comedian playing a role. And even if his character were real, I still wouldn't vote for him. He is far too conservative and closed minded.

he isn't any a lot less qualified than the Republicans who're operating. regrettably he's not easily on the pollanywhere. A matchup between him and Obama might want to be exciting. .

Absolutely. There are few conservatives out there that i like, but Stephen seems like a very sensible man. I look forward to voting for him if he can prove he's a better republican than Thompson.

I actually was watching him on the daily show and considering him as a write in

You know, I think I would. And he is running in South Carolina not South Dakota. If he makes it past the primaries (not sure how far he would take this) I will pledge my vote for him. Can't be any worse than any of the other choices we will have.
