One more thing.
As some around here know, my formerly leftwing sweetie, is in Chicago. Teaches on the south side of Chicago. I was warned of the kind of audience Oprah attracts. It’s well known as a white, liberal Chicago suburb.

Obots, all the way. These are the ladies who can take enough time out of their day to stand in line for tickets to see their heroine, Oprah.
So you can imagine my surprise when, upon viewing it again via the internet, I noted that Gov. Palin was greeted by a STANDING OVATION from Oprah’s audience.
Go back and look at the clip; it will shock you.
This was the first time I ever watched 0prah, and I thought the interview went extremely well. Yes, I noticed the standing ovation at the end, and I noticed that the audiance also gave Palin a round of applause at the very beginning, and laughed when she laughed as well. This is the type of reaction that neither 0prah or 0bama wanted, but I believe Palin went a long way to winning over at least the less loony left part of 0prah’s audiance. It will be interesting to see how many books are sold today, because a lot of them will be sold on account of that interview, I’m sure.
