Stephen Colbert loses bid for naming rights to South Carolina primary. Seriously.

State party officials ultimately rejected the idea of renaming its 2012 contest, 'The Colbert Nation Super PAC Presidential Primary," but the South Carolina GOP still pursued adding a question proposed by Colbert to the state's 2012 primary ballot in exchange for a "sizable donation" from the Comedy Central host. The proposed question asked whether voters in the state believe "corporations are people" or "only people are people."​

He lost the naming rights but with a huge donation, might still be able to post a question on the GOP primary ballot in South Carolina. And I'm dying to see how the Republican people of South Carolina vote on it...

It'll be question #4 in this picture:
