Click here to watch the Colbert-thing yourself.
This whole thing’s getting pretty meta.
Who Should Be Stephen Colbert’s (Fake) Running Mate?: We used our super duper Election Oracle to search through 40,000 news sites, blog posts, and social media feeds to figure out who should be Colbert’s VP. (We also found that Colbert’s favorability rating is higher than Obama’s. LOL?)
We find Colbert getting 13% in a hypothetical third party run for President, compared to 41% for Obama and 38% for Romney. A Colbert bid could be a blessing in disguise for the GOP. His voters go for Obama over Romney 52-38 in a straight head to head, so his presence as a potential candidate works to the Republicans’ advantage.

Also, “[Colbert’s] 36% favorability is better than the entire GOP field.” (Previously)
