Do you think Oprah campaigning for Barack Obama is a good thing or bad thing?
Will she convince you to vote for him?

I am sure they both think is a good thing. A lot of people like and respect Oprah, and listen to what she says. But, I don't know if she can convince anyone to vote for him. That is a decision, I and I hope others, does not take lightly. No, Oprah campaining for Obama, does not make me want to vote for him at all.

I’m an Obama supporter… I even have merely watched in line with risk 5 minutes of Oprah’s show in the over 15 yrs that she’s been on the air… i'm able to’t think of why human beings provide her that plenty credit for Obama’s marketing campaign. She recommended him (as did diverse different celebrities), yet did no longer marketing campaign for him. So what?!

When has Oprah campaigned for anyone? All of a sudden campaigning for a black candidate? I'd like to have seen her campaign each election for the person of her choice and not all of a sudden decide to make this a race thing.
Hillary is clearly my choice. I agree with her views.
I hope that Oprah's influence doesn't cloud people's judgement of the issues. It's clearly race based.

Celebrity endorsements don't make anyone vote for a certain person, no matter who is doing the endorsing. All they really do is make you take a second look at a candidate and with that, Oprah has already been successful for Obama.

To me, she is doing it for racist reasons. I have never thought of Oprah as being a racist, but this shows to me that she is.
I have lost all respect for this woman that I once held in the highest regard.
I did not plan on voting for Obama, and Oprah certainly did not change my mind.

I think she'll lose credibility with her audience because she is clearly supporting him for his race, not his ideas. A lot of women respect Oprah and they want Hillary to become president because of her gender, not her ideas. I think it will hurt both Oprah and Obama.

I think it's a good thing. For once instead of people trying to to harm to his campaign there is someone there to help him. As far as I see it everybody else is either a celebrity or knows one (Hillary, Mitt etc.) He's one of the few underdogs of this race. So what's wrong with a little help? Oprah wouldn't put her name on anything that she didn't believe in so i figured he's a good guy and his agenda must be worth something. He has my vote.

I was already an Obama supporter before Oprah joined the campaign. I think her campaigning will help him...not necessarily will her support change peoples views, but more people will come to see him and once you hear him, his ideals and views will pull people in.

Obama, Like Hillary, Has no management EXP. She has NEVER been the person in charge. 1 of 100 senators. Big Deal.
