I think it's awesome! It's about time someone stood up and made a mockery of our system of electing presidents. It's pretty ridiculous. Also, I really liked one of Colbert's quotes: "I don't want to be president. I want to run for president...There is a difference." Additionally, pertaining to him running on both ballots, it is still uncertain whether each party will allow him to. For obvious reasons, they don't think too kindly of a candidate running for both parties. The state party committees could possibly prevent him from doing so. Likewise, he also has to pay to be on each party's ballot. The Democratic cost is $2,500 while the cost to be on the Republican ticket is $35,000. That's a lot of change just to make a joke.
