then I would agree. But he is likely the best candidate we could get in SC. He is famous enough that he wouldn't need massive funding and could likely self fund to the extent he needed money if he chose. I don't think a single Democratic dollar should go to a senate race in SC and I sure wouldn't be donating my money to it. But if he chose to run making the GOP spend time and money on that race, good for him. If he managed to win, then great for him. As to what I would want from his as a senator is vote for the leader and not be our next Sinema or Fetterman. I think he would manage that.

I'd like to see Colbert run for Lindseed's Senate seat. Hell, he could start now every night at 11:30!! n/t [View all] Cheezoholic Jul 18 OP

Man, I love that idea so much mahina Jul 18 #1

That is a splendid idea. Although some Senator on our side would probably drum him out. CentralMass Jul 18 #2

Is Colbert from South Carolina? Sogo Jul 18 #3

Yes he is. Inkey Jul 18 #5

Yep. He still has a house there but his residence is currently NJ progressoid Jul 18 #6

Better, he was born in DC but grew up on James Island SC, (basically Charleston). It's like it was meant to be lol n/t Cheezoholic Jul 18 #7

That would raise a little problem with the Equal Time Rule. rsdsharp Jul 18 #4

Rule that Republicans don't follow Historic NY Jul 18 #8

He could offer Lindseed 5min to respond each night lol n/t Cheezoholic Jul 18 #9

Equal time means equal. He'd have to give him an hour every night. rsdsharp Jul 18 #12

I doubt he'd be in campaign mode for a full hour Wednesdays Jul 19 #13

Doesn't matter. Equal time is equal time. rsdsharp Jul 19 #14

Here we go again . . . chasing another shiny bauble. Ms. Toad Jul 18 #11

Frankly I don't see any office holders in SC that can beat him dsc Jul 19 #15

The same been said here about way too many shiny baubles before him. n/t Ms. Toad Jul 19 #17

It's not about the location of the election. Ms. Toad Jul 19 #19

On what planet would Colbert NOT be as good a senator as that flip flopping ass kissing self entitled Graham? Cheezoholic Jul 19 #21
