According to aRasmussen Poll, Comedy Central talk show host Stephen Colbert's satirical campaign for the White House has more support among young voters than does either GOP candidate (Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani) in a hypothetical match up against Hillary Clinton.
It is a sad day when a full 13% of American likely voters would select a comedic television character over sitting and former United States Senators and the Mayor of the largest U.S. city in an election for the presidency of the United States. This, I think, is more of a reflection on the candidates, however, than it is on the American people. These poll respondents were probably just being honest with themselves. If I'm going to vote for a non-adult candidate, then I might as well support the one who is out front and honest about his non-adultness.
Is it going to take electing Stephen Colbert or Bugs Bunny to the White House before we decide it is time for some real statesmen to run for public office?
373 Days until the election. Will we have an adult candidate?
