In the runup to the January, 2008 Democratic South Carolina primary, then Sen. Barack Obama accepted the endorsement of Sen. John Kerry at an outdoor rally at the College of Charleston on Jan. 10, 2008, drawing a crowd of about 4,500, a high mark for the school.
That record was broken on Friday when Colbert stumped for the Cain vote at a College of Charleston rally in the same yard where Obama once stood — this time mocking the election system — especially the campaign finance rules that allow massive corporate donations to shadowy groups — by asking people to vote for Cain — even though he dropped his presidential bid.
Colbert was raised in Charleston — though Chicagoans lay a claim on him because he graduated Northwestern University in 1986 — and drew more than 4,500, according to a school official.
