Colbert Moves Ahead of Richardson in National Poll


Culture critique Stephen Colbert announced his bid for the presidency only last week, and already Colbert has moved ahead of Gov. Bill Richardson in a national poll.

To date, Colbert is running only in South Carolina, but he may want to rethink that.

Presidential candidate Stephen Colbert "finished ahead of Gov. Bill Richardson (2.1 percent), Rep. Dennis Kucinich (2.1 percent) and former Sen. Mike Gravel (less than 1 percent)."
