Via Rasmussen: Stephen Colbert Tops Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich in Presidential Poll:
Given a choice between Colbert running as a Democrat and Republican Congressman Ron Paul, 36% of voters prefer Colbert while Paul attracts 32%. Twenty-one percent (21%) say they’d vote for some other candidate while 10% are not sure.
If the choice is between Colbert as a Republican and Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich, it’s Colbert 37%, Kucinich 32%. Nineteen percent (19%) would vote for some other candidate and 11% are not sure.
Let’s face it: that’s kind of funny. Of course, it is also the power of name recognition and that fact one suspects that most people (one hopes) understands that the Colbert thing is a joke anyway.
Still, no fun to be the real candidates who are considered joke-worthy enough themselves to be included in the poll in the first place.
