Candidates on The Colbert Report

This past Thursday, the Democratic candidates were guests on Comedy Central’s, The Colbert Report. Colbert has been in Pennsylvania this past week covering the Primary vote. Hillary went on the show when he had technical difficulties. She stressed her want and skill to help fix things when she helped Colbert get the screen working again. It was clear that she was talking about the problems in America and the world today, and the crowd cheered her on. Later on the episode, as Colbert claimed that it was sad the Obama could not be there, he appeared on the screen behind him as a surprise. Colbert made a joke about Clinton being mad at that she fixed the screen because then Obama was able to be on the show. Obama talked about issues in America some more before ending his appearance. Both of the candidates made an attempt to be lighter and more personable people. This was a change from the hard working serious faces that each of them have kept up throughout the previous month while campaigning in Pennsylvania. With the primary fast approaching, each candidate s trying to get as much positive publicity for himself/herself as possible in light of the negative attacks made on each of them. As to who got the “Colbert bump”, we will have to wait until the primary results come in to find out.
