Will he, won't he run?

No, I'm not talking about Al Gore, that was at least five news cycles ago. Old news. I'm talking about Stephen Colbert. In the NYTimes, he writes:

Nevertheless, I am not ready to announce yet -- even though it's clear that the voters are desperate for a white, male, middle-aged, Jesus-trumpeting alternative.

What do I offer? Hope for the common man. Because I am not the Anointed or the Inevitable. I am just an Average Joe like you -- if you have a TV show.



Colbert announced on Larry King that he will seek the nomination of both parties. He said that it shows courage because he could lose twice.
