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.

He can still run as an independent if he gets 10,000 signatures. Should be no problem.

Stephen Colbert’s satirical run for the presidency has run into its first roadblock — his bid to be on the ballot in the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary was rejected on Thursday.

The party’s executive council voted 13-3 to refuse Colbert’s application for a spot on the ballot.

“The general sense of the council was that he wasn’t a serious candidate and that was why he wasn’t selected to be on the ballot,” said Joe Werner, the party’s director. “There was discussion — I wouldn’t call it a heated debate — but there was discussion about it.”

I am so moving to South Carolina for the good of the country and world.

Throughout the recovery, Stephen received support from friends in government and the media, who rallied behind him with cast signatures and heartfelt get-well-soons. Cast signers include: Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York; CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric; Bill O’Reilly, host of FOX’s The O’Reilly Factor; Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of U.S. House of Representatives; Tim Russert, host of NBC’s Meet The Press; Tony Snow, White House Press Secretary; and NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams.
