Oprah Winfrey confirmed her endorsement of Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama on CNN's "Larry King Live" last week. When asked what made her decide to back Obama, Oprah said she believes in Obama's capabilities. "I think that what he stands for, what he has proven that he can stand for, what he has shown was worth me going out on a limb for—and I haven't done it in the past because ... I didn't know anybody well enough to be able to say I believe in this person." But why not endorse Sen. Hillary Clinton? Oprah stressed that her decision to support Obama does not imply she is somehow against Clinton or any other presidential candidate. Oprah's endorsement marks the first time the talk-show host has endorsed a political candidate.
