Oprah'bama

Well I wasn't planning on doing 2 Obama stories in a row, but I found this new story interesting. Check it out:

CNN Story

Oprah Winfrey, who basically owns everything and can pretty much sell anything too, is now publically endorisong Barak Obama for president. Normally when stars suport politics it isn't much more than a fundraising boost or a small public relations spike, but Oprah s no normal star. Through her television show, her Harpo Magazine, her book recommendation, and regular public appearances, Oprah's influence surpasses many if not all of American celebrities. There isn't much word yet on whether she will appear in any endorsement commercials or feature Obama in any of her various mediums, but the star power she has has already created a big buzz in both Hollywood and Capitol Hill

Some say that this may be the beggining of the end for Hillary, and Oprah may swing the Democratic women's vote away from Clinton and over to Obama. This long-standing friendship between two Chicago African-American socialites may turn out to be one of the most dynamic duos in America.

I dunno yet about a Obama-Winfrey ticket in '08. We'll see.
