The power of the Party. COLUMBIA, S.C. (Nov. 1) – South Carolina Democrats squashed Stephen Colbert’s fanciful White House bid on Thursday. His campaign ended on the Republican side as well.
Colbert, who poses as a conservative talk-show host on the Comedy Central cable network, filed to get on the ballot as a Democratic candidate in his native South Carolina. His campaign paid a $2,500 filing fee just before the noon deadline, said state Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler.
