Stephen Colbert Teases Possibility of Own GOP Primary Campaign
Democratic pollsters may just get their answer to what would happen if the Comedy Central star competes in South Carolina.
UPDATE: Now this would be a true test of the power of the Colbert bump.
Late-night comedian Stephen Colbert hinted Wednesday night that he may soon announce he'll compete in the upcoming South Carolina GOP presidential primary.
After touting his recent poll numbers that have him ahead of Jon Huntsman during Wednesday night's show, the Comedy Central star promised that he'll have a "major announcement" for viewers on Thursday. "This just got real," he said. "I’ve got to ask, what do you think, nation? Should I run for president in South Carolina?"
Colbert continued: "Everyone in the Republican field has already had their 'I’m not Mitt' moment. It all makes so much sense. I am so not Mitt. I’m the one with the glasses."
Of course, it is too late for the Comedy Central star to make his way onto the Republican ballot in his home state. Matt Moore, the executive director of the Palmetto State's GOP party, told ABC News that Colbert's chances of waging a successful write-in campaign are "nonexistent" but said that nevertheless he's welcome to try.
Tuesday, Jan. 10: Stephen Colbert hasn't had any luck in his bid to sponsor the South Carolina GOP primary, but a leading Democratic polling firm went ahead and gave him a consolation prize.

FOR REALLY IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Under New Management!
BASIC CABLE, USA – Americans For A Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, an FEC registered Super PAC, today announced the addition of Jon Stewart to its executive board (along with the subtraction of Stephen Colbert).
With this change the group, which had been known colloquially as Colbert Super PAC, can now be referred to as The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC. They have already begun updating all of their letterhead with sharpie.
"I am excited to take the reins of this completely independent organization, and begin to air ads in South Carolina," said New President and Noncommunication Director Jon Stewart. "But I want to be clear: Stephen and I have in no way have worked out a series of morse-code blinks to convey information with each other on our respective shows."
Colbert is currently exploring a run for President of the United States of South Carolina. Because of this, he cannot be associated with any Super PACs, although he has asked Americans For A Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow to forward any periodicals of an "adult nature." *
Americans A Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow is an independent, expenditure-only committee founded by Stephen Colbert in the wake of the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling, then handed down to Jon Stewart like a pair of old dungarees.

•Including the periodical "Adult Nature".
I'm also thankful for this refreshing thread seeing as other cars on this train are giving me motion sickness. I think I'll retire to the lounge car later and have a drink.
