Obama helped kick Colbert out of the race
Hillary will never get my vote since she voted for the MCA, Obama just lost me for this, Kucinich, Dodd, or Edwards better step up cuz Gulianni is a douchebag.
Two prominent supporters of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in South Carolina called state Democratic Party officials and urged them to keep funnyman Stephen Colbert’s name off the primary ballot, according to party officials and Obama supporters.
The Obama campaign denied any connection to the phone calls.
“Democrats in South Carolina, including supporters of ours, had strong feelings on both sides of the ballot issue, and ultimately it was South Carolina Democrats who made this decision,” said Obama’s South Carolina communications director Kevin Griffis.
The South Carolina Democratic Party Executive Council voted last week 13-3 to block Colbert’s bid for the Democratic primary.
hillary still has my vote. in her defense, i believe the MCA needs to be entact in order to benefit and keep safe the NDAA … even though i don’t necessarily agree with EVERYTHING about them, i feel that we need them in place in order to keep our Nation safe. (i hate politics)

For Barack, SC may be a battleground state especially if its close in Iowa and NH. SC has a hell of a lot more African-American voters than do either Iowa or NH. I understand and sympathize with his move against Colbert, if it is true.
Personally, I dread the thought of either Hilary or Rudy in office. I hate them both. I am holding out for Bloomy to get in (with Chucky as VP).
