Stephen Colbert’s political rally with Herman Cain in front of over 3,000 people in South Carolina came one day before the second anniversary of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision that barred the government from putting political spending limits on corporations and unions.Montclair resident Colbert grew up in South Carolina. His rally was called the “Rock Me Like a Herman Cain South Cain-olina Primary Rally,” and featured cheerleaders, a gospel choir, a band and Herman Cain.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that so far this year, super PACs have spent more than $26 million and negative ads are all over South Carolina television these days. Colbert raised money from viewers through his super-PAC, and according to super-PAC rules, has not revealed the amount.
