We had an actor as our president, why not a Comedian?

Our 40th president, Ronald Reagan was a radio and tv actor, so it is no surprise that Comedian Stephen Colbert desires to run for US Presidency, in the South Carolina primaries. Although the filing deadline has past, he may be able to participate as a write in candidate. Colbert even has someone to lead his SuperPAC , "Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow" ; Fellow comedian Jon Stewart. He gave it over to Stewart so he wouldn't be violating the law stating that candidates cannot lead super PACs. Colbert's PAC was formed last year to mock how many contradictions there are in laws that allow corporations to give unlimited amounts of money. Colbert states "This is a difficult decision. I've talked it over with my money. I've talked it over with my spiritual adviser". The full title that Colbert is running for is "President of the United States of South Carolina. " Interesting right?. Does Colbert have a fighting chance and is he even really serious? Guess we'll have to find out. Hey at least in the Polls he's ahead of Huntsman.
