Two prominent supporters of Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign in South Carolina called state Democratic Party officials urging them to oppose putting comedian Stephen Colbert's name on the primary ballot, according to party officials and Obama supporters with knowledge of the calls.

Colbert, the host of Comedy Central's "Colbert Report," saw his efforts to be placed on the primary ballot ended last week when the South Carolina Democratic Party executive council voted 13-3 to block his bid, with the majority of voters saying he was not a viable enough candidate to be included in the primary.

Obama Blames America First
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Monday, November 05, 2007 4:20 PM PT

Politics: If elected president, the freshman senator promises to "engage in aggressive personal diplomacy with Iran." This means he'll squeeze Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's hand really hard when he gives away the store.

In an ironic sense of timing, the former Illinois state legislator made that pledge just days before the supporters of Iran's delusional dictator celebrated the 28th anniversary of the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on Nov. 4, 1979.

...

We're reminded once again of remarks by John Howard, the Australian prime minister and staunch ally in the war on terror, who reacted to Obama's candidacy, and his plan for an early troop withdrawal, by saying, "If I were running al-Qaida in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory, not only for Obama but also for the Democrats."
