Colbert offers cash
Comedian Stephen Colbert says he will pay half a million dollars to help fund South Carolina?s first-in-the-South GOP presidential primary.
The Palmetto State native wrote in an op-ed Thursday in the State newspaper in Columbia that his super PAC will bridge the gap after state Republicans refused to contribute anything above candidates? filing fees.

The primary is expected to cost $1.5 million.
