Stephen Colbert: Votes
built 139 days ago
In January 2006, the American Dialect Society named truthiness, which Colbert featured on the premiere episode of The Colbert Report, as its 2005 Word of the Year. Colbert devoted time on five successive episodes to bemoaning the failure of the Associated Press to mention his role in popularizing the word truthiness in its news coverage of the Word of the Year.[66][67] On December 9, 2006, Merriam-Webster ... announced that it selected truthiness as its Word of the Year for 2006. Votes were accepted on their website, and according to poll results, truthiness won by a five-to-one margin.[68]

Although Stephen was the clear winner of Round One, the war was far from over. The top 25 of the first round moved on to the second round, but the voting rules were changed. Suddenly, the website decided that it would require potential voters to register and log on in order to vote.

Spotting an online contest to name a new bridge in Hungary, Colbert urged his fans to vote to have it named after him. As of Thursday, over 81,000 votes had been cast for Colbert, putting him far ahead of his closest competition: Szent Korona ("Holy Crown") with 4,200 votes.

If Stephen runs as an independent he will split the democratic vote and hand over the election to the republicans just like Ross Perot did. That’s why he MUST run as EITHER a Republican or Democrat. Sadly, realistically and historically speaking, those are the ONLY two parties that have a chance of winning this election and elections to come.

Public Opinion Strategies, a Republican polling firm, recently completed a national poll of 1,000 likely 2008 voters that included Colbert's name in both the GOP and Democratic primaries. (He has announced his plans to run in both the Democratic and Republican primaries.) In the field from Oct. 18-21, the survey has a 5 percent margin of error.

A report from the Rasmussen polling organization found that Colbert would get 13 percent of votes as an independent candidate against Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Rudy Giuliani. He got 12 percent with Fred Thompson as the GOP candidate.
