Stephen Colbert is polling at 2.3 percent nationally among Democratic voters, good for fifth place ahead of Bill Richardson, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel.

Meanwhile, in the Republican field, Colbert gets less than 1 percent of the vote - he's behind even Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul. In other words, Democrats are more likely to vote for Colbert than Republicans.

Does this mean that everyone realizes he's playing a character...or is it just that Democrats really want to see Larry Craig as veep? Discuss.

...that will have absolutely no impact on the 2008 campaign:

1. Mike Gravel supports a woman's right to choose.
2. Ron Paul opposes all taxation of Social Security benefits.
3. Duncan Hunter has received a lifetime rating of 9 percent from the League of Conservation Voters
4. Tom Tancredo does not think there should be a Congressional Black Caucus.
5. Chris Dodd has a thick, lustrous head of hair.

Chuck Norris has endorsed Mike Huckabee for President. According to Norris, "I want a president who gets things done, but I first want one who has lived a life of integrity, commitment, truthfulness and respect. Mike is that man."

Apparently, he also likes the fact that Huckabee drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls.

Hi Kids! Some of you 18- and 19-year olds are voting in your first election, and have probably never paid attention to a political campaign until this point. So I thought I'd fill you in on a few of the differences between Democrats and Republicans.

Republican candidates go out of their way to prove how conservative they are by saying the word "conservative" over and over.

Democratic candidates go out of their way to prove how non-liberal they are by never mentioning the word "liberal".

Republican voters often base their votes on values such as faith and family.

Democratic voters tend to vote for whoever their local abortion doctor tells them to vote for.

Republican candidates don't hold back from attacking each other in primary debates, going right after each other.

Democratic candidates refrain from attacking each other, much as they would refrain from attacking terrorists who threaten America.

Enjoy the campaign, young'ns!

It's almost refreshing, isn't it, when a public figure makes a boneheaded comment and then refuses to apologize for it? That's how I feel about Pete Stark, who was given a chance to say he was sorry about claiming that Republicans were sending sending American soldiers “to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president’s amusement" and instead stayed on the attack. Day after day we read stories about people apologizing for saying stupid things that they obviously believed when they said them (James Watson, anybody?) You have to respect someone who just says, "Screw you, I know what I said and I'm not the least bit sorry!"

Maybe I just feel that way because I'm such a wuss. The other day I gave a homeless man a dollar and actually thanked him. I suppose if he had vomited on me I would have had to apologize.

1968 - Pat Paulsen, former "Smothers Brothers" cast member, first runs for President. I'm pretty sure this means something to my Dad.

1980- Richard Pryor states his intention to run for Governor of Illinois. Unfortunately he is freebasing cocaine at the time and states his intention to a ficus plant.

February, 2007 - Al Franken announces that he is running for the U.S. Senate from Minnesota. Franken's chances of getting elected look slim, seeing that he is not a steroid-abusing ex-professional wrestler-turned-XFL announcer.

October 16, 2007 - Stephen Colbert announces that he will seek the Presidency in 2008, but only from his home state of South Carolina. Hey, it almost worked for George Wallace.

October 18, 2007. Sam Brownback drops out of the Presidential race. Wait, he was serious?
