In only 8 days, over 1 million people joined a facebook group called " 1,000,000 Strong for Stephen T Colbert." On the other hand, Obama’s 1 Million Strong Group took more than 8 months to get about 380,000 members.
I joined Colbert's facebook group... this doesn't mean that i am backing Colbert as a political candidate- I did it just for fun.. as i'm sure is the case with many others that joined the group. I'm not sure what this is even saying about the presidential election.. is it showing that young people really do care about who is the next president? Or is it saying that we think politics need a sense of humor?
"There is incredible dissatisfaction with the idea of Hillary Clinton as our next President, so much so that young Americans are willing to support a comedian,” Mr. DeMaura wrote in an e-mail," states the NYT's blog, i think it's not only the idea of Hillary Clinton as our next President, but i think it has something to do with the dissatisfaction of all political candidates.
Colbert isn't even a presidential candidate in South Carolina yet.. but i think it is going to be fun watching what will happen.
