Colbert said that he would at least make a big effort in South Carolina. The largest public TV network in that state had told E&P last week that it would be happy to allow him to launch his campaign at its studios.

Greenfield said that in the GOP primary he would have to stress his military background. Colbert seemed to say he served in the Marines but it turned out he meant "at a marina."

To finance his campaign, he threatened to sell advertising patches on his suit, like a NASCAR driver.

Regardless he is officially running, although his attempts to win the election are not there.  Its only about $30,000 to get your name placed on the ballot.

Truthiness and justice for all.

The last time I watched I think he said something about taking all of the money and giving it to teachers in South Carolina. Can anyone confirm this?

Even though he intends on just winning the delegation of one state, his influence on the nation may have more weight than we all think. We'll just have to wait and see whether the joke turns out to be on him or us. Be it ratings, publicity or a stab at America's political system, he has definitely caught the attention of the nation.
