Look what she can do with her BOOK CLUB...take some obscure novel and get it on the Best Sellers list!
Can she do that for Obama?

Obama is similar to the John McCain of 2000. The money of the Democratic machine will rally behind Hillary via lobbyist.
He is merely a rival that is needed to portray Hillary as capable of overcoming an obstacle.This will portray her as a more viable candidate in 2008.
Just politics as usual and deceit that occurs on the far right and far left.

She has the money and the influence.
Last month I asked this same question and so many reports from the Oprah fans the question was deleted in less than an hour.
Oprah fans don't want to think about the process they want to be the process.
If She supports Obama he will even beat Jeb Bush. The only way Obama will lose is if Jamie Fox or Stedman runs.

It's true Oprah does influence alot of people , but Senator O'Bama is a very intelligent articulate young man and his audacity for hope and new ideas will probably get to voters moreso than Oprah's money. I think she's limited in what she can contribute personally.
Frankly I liked Senator O'Bama from when he first spoke at the Democratic convention in 2004.
As to whether or not he'll defeat Hilary for the nomination it's a year away, alot can happen in a year , even in a few weeks. Remember Howard Dean and that yell.....
Mrs. Clinton and Senator O'Bama are almost different generations despite being in the Democratic party and perhaps will appeal to totally different kinds of voters. The race has only begun, time will tell. It's in campaigns like this as a Canadian I wish I could vote in your elections. :-)

You bring up an interesting point. Oprah coincidentally had Obama on her show recently. When asked he did not divulge whether or not he would be running, however he had claps and claps and more claps and standing ovations. Did you catch (if you watched) when Oprah asked him why he did not accept her offer to utilize her private jet to get to another Country that he was visiting.
Oprah's influence on people is crazy. Take for instance the purchasing of the reed razor phones, book club, donating to Africa. This is a Woman that can raise Millions in just a few minutes.
My answer is yes. I do think that she can influence greatly and I think she already has!

The Blogbaba will step up for Hillary, and if Obama is fortunate Hillary might decide for him as a Vice Presidential working mate. in spite of this i might relatively decide for to work out bill run for vice chairman just to piss off the Republican social gathering. The value ticket of Clinton and Clinton is sufficient to make Rush Limbaugh turn to drugs (back).

Hillary is not a serious contender, she brings way too much baggage into the race, also she is a very polarizing cantidate, people seem to love her or hate, no middle ground. Obama's too liberal for the mainstream as his record shows. The Democratic party needs to go with a moderate cantidate, someone more palatable to the conservative wing.

The person with the most money wins. That is the way it works. Obama has some BIG money behind him if he makes it official. Check my blog for my thoughts on the 2 Democratic frontrunners.

maybe enough money and power to get a Republican elected if Obama gets on a ego trip and decides to run anyway as an independent.
