No. I would actually like Jon to win if this really were to happen, not have a laugh at the irony. I love Colbert, but the vp would need to be an actual politician. So no. No fucking Stewart/Colbert. Please.

Why do people keep repeating this as if Jon Stewart is some vapid movie star? He's essentially campaigned for the past 20 years or so and has shown himself to be politically capable and well informed. Also, Jon Stewart is the court jester, not simply a comedian.
Ok sure, fantastically realistic solution for 3 goddamn years from now. We will "just" eliminate the highest seat in our government. Problem solved. Thank you.
Jon Stewart is not a "celebrity". It's not like electing Jim Carrey to be president. He's shown himself to be politically savvy and informed on policy and just generally thoughtful and intelligent many times. He seems like he'd make a good politician, and also he has a massive following already.
Im not sure how this request is relevant to the topic. No one is talking about nominating Ashton Kutcher. This is not someone who's famous because they're pretty or act well, he's famous for his mind, and just happens to also be funny. So I have to believe all these comments calling him a "celebrity" are knee-jerk reactions or in bad faith.
