The Colbert flap

by: jczacher

Fri Nov 02, 2007 at 15:08:56 PM EDT


Was Stephen Colbert a serious candidate?  No.  Not really. 

Should anyone be allowed on a ballot?  Sure.  If they meet certain qualifications.  I think the Republicans' price tag was a little high, but a committee of party leaders deciding who can and cannot be placed on a ballot?  That's not democracy, if you ask me.

And if you're only certifying "viable" candidates, you can scratch 2/3 of all the candidates... on both sides.

There were many good posts written about this on other blogs.  I encourage you to take a look at them.

Lord knows, this is the most interesting thing that's happened in the S.C. Presidential Sphere in the past couple of weeks.
