CHARLESTON, SC–Comic Stephen Colbert stumped for “president” at a big rally here Friday, mocking the election system by asking people to vote for Herman Cain in the South Carolina primary Saturday–whose name remains on the ballot even though he dropped his presidential bid.

Colbert, a South Carolina native, appeared with Cain at the College of Charleston, at a rally complete with the school marching band. Colbert “launched” his exploratory bid too late to get on the ballot in South Carolina.
