Anyone planning to raise Cain on Saturday?

[KamaAina]

Alas, South Carolina native son and Greatest Living American Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, DFA was unable to get on his own state's ballot because of a minor technicality involving filing deadlines. This even though the Dear Leader is polling ahead of both Jon Huntsman and Gary Johnson!

Fortunately, there is a silver lining. The same arcane ballot laws that kept Colbert off the ballot have kept Herman Cain on it! And since Colbert and Cain have so much in common, including a love of pizza and... well, anyway, a vote for Cain is a vote for Colbert!

And the beauty part of it is, it's an open primary! That means anyone -- even you -- can vote in it! I have no idea how Lee Atwater let that happen...

3. voted!

A vote for Cain (Colbert) was a vote against the front-runners. Dick Harpootlian, former state Democratic chair, said, "South Carolinians have chosen the evil of two lessers."

5. Funny, I haven't seen any Cain numbers

Nobody seems to be reporting vote totals for anybody except Gingrich, Romney, Santorum, and Paul. If you add up their percentages, though, you get 98%. Wonder where the other 2% went?

It's not as if it matters. Those ES&S machines can be manipulated to show whatever results you want.
