The top 3 choices suck. Chappelle sounds actually like a quasi-libertarian based on his interviews (e.g. he stated that Donald Sterling shouldn't have lost ownership of the clippers for his private thoughts).

Those four are the frontrunners. But there are stark differences in who would back each candidate.
Colbert is the heartland male’s candidate — he gets 24 percent of the male vote and 23 percent of the vote from the midwest.
Stewart is the favorite of east-coast liberals on the older side of the millennial scale. He earns 23 percent of the 30-34 aged crowd — plus 22 percent of the vote in the northeast and 24 percent of young people who self-identify as liberal.
But the women want Fey. An astounding 28 percent of women — the highest percentage of one gender for any candidate — as well as 19 percent of west-coasters back her. She also earns 19 percent of the Latino vote, the highest of any comedian candidate.
Chappelle, whose “Chappelle’s Show” became a national sensation in the early 2000s and who has recently made a comeback doing standup, is most popular with young, African-American voters. He gets 28 percent of the African-American vote. His share of that vote and Fey’s share of the female vote are tied for the highest percentage of one demographic for any comedian candidate.
