The only issue I can see with Colbert getting elected is that the electoral system of the US has the people elect people to elect the president, thereby rendering the votes of the citizens relatively worthless.

Train of thought fail...

Where was I going with this?

Oh yea!

Simply put: If Stephen Colbert is running as an independent, then the only electors the people are allowed to elect are the ones who hold seats in the US Congress, which means it'd be easy to keep him from the White House if he didn't have the support of any major party.
