Stephen Colbert: A Candidate Without A Ballot

The truthiness-inspired candidacy of Stephen Colbert has come to an end.

He couldn't afford the $35,000 fee to get on the GOP ballot (party of the rich? omgz, no way!), so he sent in the $2,500 to get on the Democratic ballot instead. Looks like that check is probably being returned-

The South Carolina Democratic Party voted Thursday to keep comedian Stephen Colbert's name off the Democratic Primary ballot, according to Executive Director Joe Werner...

...Werner confirmed Thursday that viablity was the issue — because Colbert only sought to run in South Carolina and has essentially acknowledged his bid was a joke, the party could not deem him viable.

It was fun while it lasted. And now Mitt Romney is still the fakest candidate in the race.
