Last night on The Colbert Report, Stephen announced that he was running for president in the South Carolina primaries:
Now the New York Times' Caucus blog is reporting that he "is apparently serious enough that his staff reached out to the state’s Democratic and Republican committees in advance of his announcement." Joe Werner, the head of the South Carolina Democratic Party, said, "From what I understand, he does have credible people down here, working to have him placed on the ballot."
The real question now becomes: Will the FCC's equal-time provision cause The Colbert Report to go off the air? Or will it qualify for the exemption for news programs? If it does have to go off the air, would it affect the whole nation or just South Carolina?
