Colbert Almost Wins!
Though Stephen Colbert's presidential campaign was over before it began, some voters still consider him a viable candidate—if not for the White House.
The Colbert Report host scored an electoral success in Williamsburg, Virginia, last week when he ended up in a three-way tie for a seat on the Colonial Soil and Water Conservation District Board.
Colbert and two students from the College of William and Mary each earned three write-in votes for the post on the board, which oversees natural resource protection in the area.
Were the writers' strike not in full swing, it's likely Colbert would have plenty to say about the situation. As it is, the faux conservative commentator could not be reached for comment on his victory.
However, his soiled success will be short-lived. Because Colbert is not a registered voter in the former colonial capital of Virginia, his name will not be among those drawn from a hat by the Williamsburg Electoral Board to decide the election.
As a result, either Matt Beato, a 20-year-old government major, or Benjamin Strahs, a computer science and math major, is in line to take over the seat.
Beato, who heads up the college's student assembly senate, expressed concern about the electoral process.
"I'm not crazy, but any nut case could win with three votes," he told the Newport News Daily Press. "Somebody should make sure that doesn't happen."
Colbert's short-lived presidential run ended earlier this month when the South Carolina Democratic Executive Council voted to bar him from the state's primary ballot.
"I want to say to my supporters, this is not over," he said in a statement last week. "While I may accept the decision of the council, the fight goes on! The dream endures!"
"I am going off the air until I can talk about this without weeping," he added.
Presumably, he will regain control of his emotions around the same time the writers' strike is resolved.
