He'll grab the young vote, the new voters, and the undecided voter who may not bother to even read about the candidates but knows that they like Colbert. Fred Thompson is the Republican version of this. Hey, he was on Law and Order, he could be president. Awesome! Let's splinter that vote, too!

Unless of course, we side for optimism, in which case Colbert could make a bigger dent than anyone expected.

Hell, he understands foreign affairs and international relations a lot better than our current President. Frankly, Hillary scares me with some of her entitlement programs (baby bond?) - and while I would rather Ron Paul or Obama get into office, Colbert would make a better President than our current one. Unless, of course, he just made jokes the whole time. Josh,
