He's A Contender
Filed under: Stephen Colbert
A new poll shows that if the U.S. presidential election were to be held today, and the candidates were Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton and Stephen Colbert, the Comedy Central funnyman would get 13% of the votes. For real.
God bless America!

VOTE RON PAUL STOP FASCISM, LEGALIZE DRUGS
awesome.
GO COLBERT!
Colbert '08!
This country is screwed
…nice teeth,…. i think not!
hooray
I'd vote for him..
Oh yeaa…
what a sack of shit
RON PAUL 2008! WHY DOESNT HE HAVE 13% OF VOTES??? I DONT GET IT!!
11th!
I would vote for him if he is serious, If Bush can be President most anyone is qualified
Anyone but CLINTON!!!!!!!!!
COLBERT IN 08
COLBERT IN 08
COLBERT IN 08
COLBERT IN 08
Yay Barack Obama!!
who couls seriously vote for colbert as a president?
I mean he's a comedian, and he plays a role on t.v.
Thats who people would be voting for
this country is going to hell.
His speech at the 2006 Correspondence Dinner is still a classic!!!!
Am I the only who thinks Colbert looks like Bob Sagat? Not that it really matters, but I'd have a hard time looking up to a president who reminds me of Sagat.
Who wouldn't vote for him?
That's great. He'll just steal votes from Hillary. All of you idiot democrats…vote for Colebert!!!!!
Anyone seen the movie "Man of the Year"?
Only 13%? I'd definitely vote Colbert.
Well, why not? He worships Bill O'Reilly, is one of the most loyal Bush supporters around, and he hates liberals. I would think every good-hearted Republican will be voting for him. He's the only right-winger who isn't soft on… well, anything, really.
It just goes to show you there are no good candidates running for president. Our country lacks real leaders these days who can make real changes for the good of all.
Both democrats and republicans are working for their benefit, not ours. It's time to do away with separate parties. They are pretty much the same these days.
People like to screw things up.
THIS FUCKING DOUCHENOZZLE DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE IN HELL. JUST LIKE THE FUCKING HALF-WIT, OBAMA, AND MAN-HANDS HILLARY. YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKING LIBERAL CAN ROT IN HELL!
I'd vote for him! love him!
haha.
i thought this was bob saget!
IT EITHER SHOWS HOW WRONG POLLS CAN BE or HOW STUPID AND UNINFORMED THE AMERICAN PUBLIC REALLY IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CHOOSE THE LATTER!
it's sad to know how pathetic and uneducated our country is. yes, colbert is a funny guy… but can he really be our country's leader?
"ANYONE SMARTER THAN BUSH IS QUALIFIED"
YES, that's true BUT DON'T YOU WANT SOMEONE WHO WILL ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT HE OR SHE IS DOING.
please don't waste your votes on this guy.
this is pathetic…pull your head out of your ass people! voting is meaningful…don't be such jackassess!
Of course, no one who would actually vote for colbert would stop smoking ganja and get off the couch long enough to cast a vote. whew, now i feel better.
I can't believe Colbert is this stupid… He's only running in the South Carolina primaries, but he could take enough votes away from Obama so that he looses that state, because the people that would vote for Colbert would be voting for Obama. South Carolina is an extremely important primary state, because it's an early state, the first southern state primary, and history shows that people who win the early states win the nomination. Obama is for change… and Colbert is an idiot that could prevent necessary changes in the country.
HE LOOKS LIKE BOB SAGETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS FOR COLBERT IN '08!!!
Truthiness, justice, and the American Way!!!!
COLBERT FOR PRESIDENT!
Hey, why not? Politics are a joke anyway.
id vote for him…and then id fuck him. then id vote for him again
I am so happy that Colbert is running. He would probably do a better job than all of the candidates. He has my vote!
Re: Megals13 –
Agree.
We don't need another Nader to help throw the election.
I'm a Daily Show and a Colbert Report fan, but I hope he backs out of this frivolous stunt. No doubt he's well educated (Dartmouth alum) and more intelligent than Bush, but he's not a viable candidate.
Am I blind or is he Jewish? Talk about getting our asses blown up..
yea, vote for him…the Middle East already hates our guts for
supporting Israel..all we need is a Jewish president…
he's the best candidate!
this does not surprise me
Colbert'08! This man is one of the funniest satirists out there today.
Another Nader? You've got to be kidding me. We all know Al Gore should have been president to begin with. Bush is a joke. He has ruined this country. My vote will go to Colbert or Gore. Yes, I'm writing in.
ummmm ok i thought it was bob saget at first.
interesting….it would be unfortunate if he swung the election like Nader. Still…makes you wonder about the idiots contributing huge sums of cash to 3rd tier contenders with no hope of getting the nomination. I mean 13% for a running gag!
re: #46-
Hi, HATER! No, if you've ever gotten your news from someone other than Bull O'Lielly, Ann (rhymes with "witch") Coulter and Sean Hinsannity, or even watched Colbert's show, you'd know he was from South Carolina, and Catholic. But thanks for the anti-Semetic HATE! Now I suppose you'll argue that they made up the Holocaust, too? Moron.
Now just wait for the floodgates to open declaring him a papist tool of the Vatican. My only question regarding the validity of this poll is "only 13%?"
If he really was serious, I'm sure he could be far more intelligent and thoughtful than any of the candidates in either party, and wouldn't sell out to the uber rich elitisits that have dominated this country for the past 50 years.
VIVA La Revolucion!
check out the "1,000,000 strong for Stephen T Colbert" group on facebook
already OVER 1,000,000 members!
He looks like Bob Saget
Here's the problem. Most likely, a vote for Stephen Colbert will be a vote taken away from a Democratic Presidential candidate, and we end up with a Republican President AGAIN. Not good.
OMG I tought it was that guy from full house!
Danny Tanner
I hope because voters know Rudy and Hilary are both bad for our country….not that Colbert would know what he was doing.
People, don't worry. Anyone who votes for this idiot would have voted for Hillary or Obama. They're obviously fools to begin with and shouldn't be allowed in the voting booths. If this is who they're backing, by all means, let the uneducated jackasses vote!
Steven Colbert with 13% of the vote, is proof positive, our political process has become a joke! Then again, Bush has proved this in the last two elections! The joke, Bush, won the majority of the Electorial Vote in both elections, and the majority of the vote, in the last election. This makes George Bush the biggest joke of a President in the history of America.
Look it's Danny from Full House!!
OMG! he looks exactly like Bob Saget!
amen!
colbert 08'!
only in the good u.s. of a.
Hell yeah!!! You rock Stephen!!!
DANNY TANNER?
If it wasnt for the fact that Hillary has the election anyways….Id vote for him.
Gee, let's talk about some issues, not his teeth, hair, religion or profession.
When did Bush or gore (or Clinton or Giulliani, for that matter) last have a REAL job that wasn't being paid by the you and I?
I love that the rest of the inbred right wing psychotic Kool Aid suckers out there are going apeshit over this. It's a bit! A JOKE! And you're all too STUPID to get it.
Like most one celled organisms, he's smarter than Pres. Fratboy, and
a lot more "for real" than Hillary, who's a tool of the same interests
running this mad sideshow of a government already (witness her position on Iraq).
Dixiegirl, you'd better HOPE he doesn't run- and exile the treasonous scum on both the left and the right. 'Cause just MAYBE this country would have a leader that looks out for the interests of the little guy again, not just the bankrolling campaign donors representing the 1% of this country with seven (or more) figure incomes who don't pay taxes, lay off workers and outsource their jobs to Calcutta so they can MAKE MORE MONEY!
And the cattle out there that willfully ignore how FUCKED the rest of the country is sicken me. You are the modern equivalent of the collaborators that handed over France to the NAZIS! All you flaming dbags think about is aggrandizing your own power, and getting more MONEY!
Do the right thing and start voting for the best interests of your COUNTRY!
It'll be a nice change…
god bless this UN-EDUCATED country,,, "only in America"___ they really don't know that it is a joke, 2012 for sure, doomsday~~ hehehe peace out perezticide you FATFUCK, haha… 2 bad i'm a damn felon, i'd vote 4 that Bitch hillary, ~~~hawaiian style rocks* HAPPY FRIDAY
GEORGIANS FOR COLBERT! THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!!!!
that is so embarassing
Colbert for President! Vote Colbert!
Just another reason to raise the voting age to 25.
Colbert would make the G.O.P great again! Republicans for Colbert!!!

HE'S LESS OF A JOKE THAN GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just one more idiot to muddy the election.
COLBERT 08!
PETE DOHERTY.
Why use the worse picture of Colbert ever taken?
WHO FINDS THIS IDIOT FUNNY????? no one
Love him! He should run as Noblett.
Read my lips-"He's not real!! He's a character!!" With that said-"COLBERT FOR PRESIDENT!!!!"
im seeing him at cornell tonight!!!!!!!!!
I always liked Colbert but this kinda pisses me off. Politics are already a joke, we don't need some comedian screwing up the election.
